Topic: Getting your database code into Source Control

Source control has historically been associated with application code rather than database code, but more and more database professional are seeing the value it can provide for managing database changes and deployments. In this demo-heavy session, I will take you through some simple steps to get your database into a Git repository, and push that repository to a remote server. Along the way we’ll discuss some of the advantages of having your database code in source control, and I’ll present two different approaches to deployment that can affect how you will organize your code repository. Git basics will also be covered.

If we have time left over, we would love to hear about some of your experiences as database professionals in the current situation, whether you are working from home or on site.

Reminder to all: Please register as a member of PASS (http://sqlpass.org | it's FREE), and associate yourself with our chapter. It's how they keep track of our activity, and our size, which will help us when we get a Eugene SQLSaturday going.
