Organize and validate your SQL
scripts using a multi developer tool
Eldean
AB has released VersionStar for beta testing – an application
that helps developers organize and validate SQL scripts in a multi
developer environment.
VersionStar
is a script management tool that allows multiple developers to
develop scripts without corrupting production databases through
script interference. With VersionStar, scripts are always applied
consistently and in a predictable order - protecting developers from
lost or forgotten scripts. VersionStar also protects against scripts
that are introduced out of order and break later scripts. It
organizes the process of storing scripts, verifying their quality and
applying them to one or several servers.
The
core idea for VersionStar is that you should test your scripts
together with all other scripts that are about to be deployed –
even those developed by other developers – then repeat the
process in quality assurance before you move on to production.
Scripts must be applied in the exact same order for each of these
steps, otherwise the test is compromised.
Version
controlling scripts is made easy through extensive version control
system (VCS) integration, allowing developers to check scripts in and
out of the VCS from the VersionStar application. VersionStar supports
all major VCS vendors.
VersionStar
lets users apply scripts to offsite servers by creating a stand alone
application that can be sent to clients. These applications can be
fully automated, requiring no user input.
The
script creation process does not change with VersionStar; developers
still create scripts by hand or using a tool, but VersionStar takes
care of the script as soon as it’s ready for testing. Scripts
are brought through development, quality assurance and on to
production – all organized with VersionStar.
VersionStar
it currently tested with SQL Server but other platforms are being
planned for.
The
pricing has yet to be determined, but a per-developer pricing scheme
is planned.
