Git for Oracle Developers and DBAs
Most tutorials covering frontend development include a section about Version Control Systems and their importance during the development process. The same can’t necessarily be said about tutorials describing backend or database development. This might be a fact explaining the difference in adoption. Not using a Version Control System in support of database development is a missed opportunity though, especially since it’s a lot less difficult than one might expect. A plethora of tools such as Liquibase exist to help database developers generate scripts for applying their schema changes to databases. Repeatedly, securely, audited, and of course, version controlled. These scripts can easily be stored in a VCS, enabling entirely different, and more open, ways for developers to collaborate. This talk introduces Oracle developers and administrators alike to the virtues of git in conjunction with Liquibase as the deployment tool of choice. You can learn more about local repositories, branching, merging and how to use remote repositories to work with your peers. Once git’s key concepts are understood using it becomes a lot less scary and can turn into a fun activity
