DevOps Tools for Database Developers
Slideshow

You're thinking about modernizing your database development process ... someday. You have directories full of SQL files you use to build your application. You know unit tests should be included as part of your build process, and you are going to start adding them ... maybe next week. Does this sound like you? If you think modernizing your dev process will be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, you may be surprised at how easy and cost-effective it is to get started. Blaine Carter will explore how to manage your database application in a continuous development pipeline. He will talk about some open source tools you can use to automate building and testing your applications and will cover Liquibase, utPLSQL, continious deployment, and Oracle ACCS. The sooner you get started updating your database development process with DevOps, the more it will save you in the long run.
