What will we accomplish?  All Database Scripts should be under source control  A Migration Tool named RoundhousE  Demos – after all this is a technical presentation right?!

Why do we need migrations?  Things invariably will change  Very few systems require no changes over the years

Define the Issue  Databases change – updates with new/changed tables, views, stored procedures, etc  Databases store data  Deleting data is bad. Don’t be a bad monkey!

Different Environments 1. Local (Developers) 2. Test (Testers) 3. Staging (Users/Proxies) 4. Production (Users)

Let’s talk about Pain  How do you apply a database change one time?  How do you keep all environments in sync?

It’s simple  Use RoundhousE!

Let the demos begin
