Chapter 3: Change Management and Source Control
Summary
Change management in development can be very difficult, and in database development
it can be extremely hard, especially when multiple teams are involved.
Having the right processes in place, and sufficient environments to support those
processes, is a large step towards taming team-based database development. Once
you've established these processes and moved your code into source control, you will
need to work on automating as many of the deployments to all these new environments
as you can, in order to make the processes repeatable and easy to maintain.
