Default source control for oracle forms and reports - 05-14-2008 , 12:02 PM






hi

is there a good source control product for a small oracle shop? we use
oracle developer 10g (forms and reports), and we have some stored
procedures and packages as well. the only source control i have right
now is basically dumping the form or report into a subdirectory named
after the date (for instance, 2008_05_14) before modifying it.

do most people use a source control product or are you all just being
very very careful?

thanks

We just use what ever we use for the project, this project uses vss. As
long as the source control handles binary files you're fine.

You can't typically diff the versions (at least not using the tools I know
off), but it's easy enough to pull out two versions and use some local
tool to do that.

I typically keep numbered local copies while I'm making changes until I'm
ready to checkin to the "real" source control.
