Are there any Continous Integration shops on the list? How do you handle database changes?
I am working toward having my team use continous integration as part of our move to AGILE programming methodologies.
The one problem I can't seem to solve (i.e make everyone happy) is changes to the database. Currently eveyone has their own local db and distributes scripts via email and the developers don't like this and want to all develop on a "Central Database".
I had to change from this because I was having problems with scripts being left out of SS and when it came time to build to production It was a nightmare of scripts and diffs and late nights and a very pissed off wife.
I am not afraid, except for the wife :) to make an SOP and enforce it, I am just looking for the best solution.
Very soon the source build will be automated so I want to solve the db part.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated
