Used to use that method in a former company with our DB2 database. We had one DB with schemas of DBPROD, DBTEST, DBSTST, and DBRTST. At various testing stages we would move the objects to a different schema.... The application had a variable for who owned the structure. That way we could be developing (DBTEST), in the development test phase (DBRTST), into user acceptance testing (DBSTST), and into production (DBPROD) with different versions all at the same time.
I could see it happening with Oracle as well......but .... .... why not just use different instances to house the different stages of development. That way you can have everything under the same schema and not have to worry about any synonym or schema switching. -----Original Message----- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 1:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I am in a peculiar situation where the development & design is happening in parellel. It would table definitions, table data (Reference Data), View definitions, the design itself ( LDM). It would be a situation, where there are different schema's need to be maintained at different stages of the project (Devlp, IT, QA, Staging). Since these activities would be parellel versioning would help. Hence this versioning.

Take a backup of the database on a seperate tape each day ! What components of the database do you want to version ? Table definitions ? View definitions ? Packages/Procedures/Triggers ? Code Objects should be versioned, but data objects [Tables/Indexes/Sequences] would generally not vary once the design is done, save for a few changes/additions/enhancements.
