I saw this comment in a post a short while back. A reader said "I'm still trying to wrap my head around "devops" as it pertains to database deployment. ... how do you deal with those potentially dangerous/destructive changes without manually coding? ... what tools are there that help in that regard? That's what database developers really need. The only tools I've found that' [are] useful so far are experience and care." We have some tools over at Redgate software to help with database DevOps, but there aren't any magic solutions that can alter your database in some way that doesn't impact users and preserves all data. In fact, if anyone claimed to have a tool, I wouldn't trust it because there are just too many variables in database deployments. I certainly wouldn't trust a tool with automated rollbacks. Ultimately, experience and care are needed to build better software. Read the rest of "No Magical DevOps" |
