Version Control meets Data Control

Kyle Hailey & Uri Margalit

The Business Need

Copyright@2008, Juniper Networks, Inc.

80% of unplanned downtime is due to Change

50% More than

of this, half is due to human errors

40% of changes FAIL

The Technology Need

Dealing with Risk

Smaller and more focused changes are easier to manage (Agile…) Automation of repeating tasks lowers risk of (human) error Development and Operations should work in synergy (DevOps)

Source Control – Standard De Facto

Common version control tools:GitHubSVNPerforceTFSRTCVSS

The Database Challenge

• The Database is a crucial part of the Application— Schema Structure— PL/SQL Code— Lookup Content

• The Database is a central resource• Business Data Must be preserved

• The Database is not native to traditional version control

• Objects are not files on a file system• How can we manage Content?• How can we branch a Database?

Tradeoff: Speed, Quality, Cost

Good, Cheap, Fast : choose two

Fast

What We’ve Seen

1. Inefficient QA: Higher costs of QA2. QA Delays : Greater re-work of code3. Sharing DB Environments : Bottlenecks4. Using DB Subsets: More bugs in Prod5. Slow Environment Builds: Delays

1. Inefficient QA: Long Build times

3. Full Copy Shared : Bottlenecks

Frustration Waiting

Old Unrepresentative Data

4. Subsets : cause bugs

Production

4. Subsets : cause bugs

Classic problem is that queries that run fast on subsets hit the wall in production.

Developers are unable to test against all data

Challenges of Development & Release to Operation

Organizing the development of changes• Code• Database • Configuration • Metadata• Work Items

Development Test/ Staging/ UAT

Enabling safe migration into production• Moving the right

components• Enabling

Rollback & Recovery

Production

Development Operations

Moving just the right components needed for the release

• Release Approved Items

Agility dictates frequent changes & new tools are needed to streamline the process

ChangeManagement

ReleaseManagement

What is DBmaestro TeamWork

• Database Enforced Change Management+ Database version control+ Plugs into the ALM (change request, tickets &

work items)

+ Database change impact analysis+ Database deployment automation

• DevOps Solution for databases + Deployment, rollback & recovery+ Plugs into release management

The Challenges that DBmaestro Addresses

• Development delays• Silos in development, DBA and operations• Delays in deployment (internally and to operations)• Errors in production

Development Delays

• Different methodologies for the application & database

• Code overrides• Lack of history of changes (who did what, where, when and

why)

• Manual writing of delta scripts• Lack of automation

Silos in Development, DBA and Operations

• No sharing between the team• No visibility• Always looking for errors made by others

Delays in Deployment (Internally and to Operations)

• Deployment automation does not really include the database tier

• Database scripts generated out of the scope of automation

• Lack of confidence in automation

Errors in Production

• Missing changes• Deploying the wrong version of objects• What about the reference data?

Poll

Which challenges have you experienced?

1. Development delays

2. Silos in development, DBA and operations

3. Delays in deployment (internally and to operations)

4. Errors in production

How?

• Database version control – Enforced Check Out/In – Labels– Rollback/Undo – Audit trail reports

• Database impact analysis – Utilizes version control repository information – 3 way analysis

• Database deployment automation– API – Baselines – Conflict resolution – Customized business logic

Without DCM - Two isolated Processes

Check-Out Script

Modify Script

Get updated Script from DB

Check-In Script

Compile Scriptin DB

Safety Net For Automation of Deployment

Source vs. Target

Action

= No Action

≠ ?

Source vs. Baseline

Target vs. Baseline

Action

= = No Action

≠ = Override

= ≠ Ignore

≠ ≠ Merge

You do not have all of the information

With Baselines and 3 way analysis the unknown is now known

Simple Compare & Sync Baseline aware Deployment

Benefits - Development

• Database change repository• Follow SCM best practices (Check-Out/Check-

In) • All changes are documented• Manage who can do what, where, when & why

Benefits - Operations

• Integrated deployment engine• Business level audit• Roles & responsibilities enforcement

Benefits - Management

• Complete visibility into changes in progress• Management reports• No silos

Live Demo

• Clone 2 virtual copies of the Trunk1. Dev1

2. Dev2

• Make changes & merge them into the Trunk: Developer1 modifies Dev1 Developer1 merges changes into the Trunk Developer2 modifies Dev2 Developer2 merges changes into the Trunk

• Rely on enforced changes & automation
