Stairway to Database Source Control

Stairway to Database Source Control Level 3: Working With Others (Centralized Repository)

One of the main purposes of placing a database under source control, alongside the application code, is to allow team collaboration during development projects.

They can also inspect the VCS to discover recent changes made by other team members.
