Improve your functional correctness, code quality, code maintainability and application performanceīefore most database developers are ready to come into the agile fold, they need to be convinced that automation tools can enable them to shorten release cycles while still minimizing risk in production. This e-book includes walk-throughs, implementation guidelines and links to videos that will show you how to use Toad® for Oracle Developer Edition and Toad DevOps Toolkit to automate your database development processes and realize the full promise of agile: the ability to release software in prompt response to market changes. The processes become a bottleneck that keeps many organizations from reaping the full benefits of agile development. Since people don't scale in a linear fashion, those manual processes can never scale to the level required to support agile projects.

However, clinging to traditional database management practices comes at a very high price. Simply overwriting version 1 of the database schema with version 2 could easily result in data loss.ĭatabase changes are usually made carefully, methodically and with slow, manual processes like scripting to avoid the risk of costly system downtime.

A database, on the other hand, is more like a living organism, with a current state that must always be managed to maintain the integrity of the data. But because databases and applications are different animals, developers have been slower to embrace agile, especially in relational environments.įor instance, if application developers deploy version 2 of an app and there's a problem with it, they can easily restore version 1 so users can continue working while version 2 gets fixed. In fact, most application developers already consider agile a mainstream approach. The advantages of agile development include shorter time to value, lower risk and greater flexibility. What does it take to make your database development as agile as your application development?
