What is Database Lifecycle Management (DLM)?

  • Article

When the different teams that are involved throughout the life of a database fail to reconcile their different roles and priorities, and so fail to cooperate or work adaptively, the result is gridlock: databases defined as though carved in stone rather than by code and data. William Brewer explores how DLM can offer an alternative that allows databases to respond quickly to business change.

Question of the Day

Restoring On Top II

I have a database, DNRTest, that has a number of tables and other objects in it. The other day, I was trying to mock up a test and ran this code on the same server:

-- run yesterday
CREATE DATABASE DNRTest2
GO
USE DNRTest2
GO
CREATE TABLE NewTable (id INT)
GO
Today, I realize that I need a copy of DNRTest for another mockup, and I run this:
-- run today
USE Master
BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO
RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest2 FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
What happens?
