What happens if you couldn't find the frisbee? -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Velevitch Sent: Tuesday, 17 April 2007 4:57 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Version Controlling a Database

The approach that was taken there is this:- We had a master database from which all developers copied to create there own local private databases. This way they could screw up the database to there hearts content, because they could refresh it from the master. When they were happy with the schema change they would update the code repository and they apply the changes to the master database. The access to master database was via a symbolic physical "lock", in our case we used a frisbee that was placed on the desk of the developer who was currently updating the master database. You could update the master database if you couldn't get the frisbee.
