tracking changes in multiple instances
Posted in 2004
Topics: Server Administration
Hello, Not long ago we began to branch out to multiple (dual) development team, located in different location. Both development teams have their own development database instance on their local machine. CVS are used to track software code change, while DBA tried to synchronize the database as soon as there is a new change. Comparing to code change (C++ in this case), it is more difficult to track database changes (both schema and content). I wrote a tool suite in perl to tackle this problem, but it is not quite user friendly yet. I am wondering if Informix has a tool to do this sort of thing. (We are low in budget though). And I would appreciate any comment/suggestions from those of you who have done or thought of this tracking problem. Thanks, pac

"Informix" and "tools" rarely go in a single coherent sentence. -- "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche
