Richard,
We use PVCS version manager to store our code base. The entire database,
including physical and logical structures and program units are built from
scripts maintained in our PVCS archive. It allows version labels to be
applied (dev, test, etc.). A CM type promotes code to the appropriate
instance when it has been accepted (at least in theory). This often ends up
being the DBA (me).
Not as elegant as a journaling file system -
Can I get an "A-men!" for a journaling RDBMS!?!?!? -
but it seems to work with a minimum of hassle...
