Version History
Challenges
- How to track changes in schema, configuration and data versions.
- How to quickly identify what database version is deployed where.
- How to re-validate a database version to ensure no local changes were made to the databasehird.
Solution
- Use dbMaestro to compare database version changes and analyze the impact of specific changes on dependent objects.
- View dbMaestro's version reports to identify the extent and consistency of changes made to the schema.
- View dbMaestro's version deployment histories to know which version is deployed where.
- Compare current deployments with target database version packages to ensure no local changes were made.
Benefits
- View dbMaestro's version reports to identify the extent and consistency of changes made to the schema.
- How to quickly identify what database version is deployed where.
- How to re-validate a database version to ensure no local changes were made to the databasehird.

Rollback Capabilities
Challenges
- How to quickly revert to previous version settings.
- How to maintain a history of changes in schema, configuration parameters and data to enable a simple “rollback”.
- How do you rollback to database versions beyond the last installed version.
Solution
- Use dbMaestro to manage deployment histories with granular aggregation of changes to objects.
- Use dbMaestro's “Version Recall” features to quickly “revert” to a previous database version or granularly control which change should be rolled back.
Benefits
- Ensure availability and integrity by enabling quick recall of previous database versions.
- View detailed analysis of what has been changed to identify the fault and focus your corrective actions accordingly.

Inconsistencies
Challenges
- How to ensure that changes made to the database don’t have an adverse affect when moving to production.
- How to quickly identify what, where and how objects have changed.
- How to ensure that logical schema changes are complete.
Solution
- Use Use dbMaestro to compare version changes and analyze the impact of specific changes on dependent objects.
- View dbMaestro's version reports to identify the extent and consistency of changes made to the schema.
Benefits
- Save time and effort involved in planning and executing changes to your database.
- Automate the validation of changes across your schema.
- Quickly analyze the impact of planned changes to your working database.
- Ensure that changes are implemented uniformly throughout your entire database.

Maintenance
Challenges
- How to easily weed out obsolete objects in order to optimize the database.
- How to quickly recognize which objects are obsolete and which are importan.
- How to quickly revert back to older objects should they require reinstatement.
Solution
- Use dbMaestro to view object dependencies and histories.
- Use dbMaestro’s transaction analysis to gauge an object’s usage patterns.
- Easily revert back to previous object versions should you need to.
Benefits
- Enable ongoing maintenance and optimization of your database by “weeding out” old, obsolete objects.
- Save time in deployment, debugging, backup and routine maintenance by keeping your database optimized.
- Lower the risk involved in “weeding out” obsolete objects by being able to quickly “undo” changes.

Deployment - Consistent Versions
Challenges
- How do you validate deployments.
- How do you effectively compare database deployments for differences.
- How do you quickly diagnose differences in behavior and performance from different server installations.
Solution
- Use dbMaestro to compare currently deployed database versions with the master version package.
- Compare multiple servers with each other to identify differences.
Benefits
- Save time and effort involved in planning and executing changes to your database.
- Automate the validation of changes across your schema.
- Quickly analyze the impact of planned changes to your working database. Ensure that changes are implemented uniformly.

Deployment – Planning
Challenges
- How to pre-validate database version changes and pre-requisites prior to deployment.
- How to quickly package incremental changes to schema and data as an installation ready package.
- How to lower the risk involved in complex deployment scenarios.
Solution
- Use dbMaestro to create database version migration packages.
- Pre-validate versions against deployed servers.
Benefits
- Save time and effort involved in planning and executing database version deployments.
- Automate the deployment sequence across multiple servers. Generate and keep detailed reports on deployments.

- How to simplify the validation of deployments on multiple servers.
- How to audit what was deployed to where.
Solution
- Use dbMaestro to manage deployments to multiple servers.
- Use dbMaestro's “Server Compare” features to compare and validate servers against your target deployment package.
Benefits
- Save time and dramatically reduce the risk involved in multi-server deployment.
- Maintain detailed deployment history across servers.
- Save time by automating the validation procedure in multi-server deployments.

Deployment - Undo Changes
Challenges
- How to quickly undo recent changes and revert back to previous version settings.
- How to maintain a history of changed schema, configuration parameters and data to enable a simple “Undo”.
Solution
- Use Use dbMaestro to manage deployment histories with granular aggregation of changes to objects.
- Use dbMaestro's “Undo” features to quickly “undo” a recent change either by reverting to a previous database version or granularly controlling which change should be rolled back.
Benefits
- Save Ensure availability and integrity by enabling quick undo of recent erroneous changes.
- Provide immediate support for stabilizing a new version without requiring assistance from the development team.
- View a detailed analysis of what has changed to identify the fault and focus your corrective actions accordingly.
