Richard,

I am using the old fashioned method.

We developed a simple application is Access (sorry - someone else did it!)
that the applications people use to submit requests.

It has several DBA buttons on it that I select to indicate that the request
has been completed in development, user test and production.

It is totally manual, but I can spin simple reports off of it (like what is
in development, but not user test).

I maintain the database schemas in Oracle Designer (one Designer application
for each instance) and manually either reverse-engineer things when they
move from development to user test or redo the change by hand.

After each build into the user test environment, I use TOAD to compare
schema's and make sure that everything is where it should be.

I have looked at version control with Oracle Designer and found it lacking
(like, it sucked).  It was slow, and did not do what I wanted it to do - it
made no sense really for change control purposes.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone else about what works for them.

hope this helps

I'd appreciate any info. anyone could provide on what method you use to
track database changes that have been implemented in
dev, test, stage and production.  I need a way of tracking frequent
modifications to tables, packages, etc.. and wanted to get some input on how
others are handling this.

TIA,

Richard Huntley
