Schema Management Difficult to Manage Change to the schema Production Database is one version of the truth for Data and Schema DBA doesn’t have access to changes until he/she has deploy or reject choice Changes often made to production database and not rolled back into test Tuning Monitoring “ One Version of the Truth” for Data and Schema Schema Changes Production Database Management Studio Schema

Difficult to Manage Change to the schema

Production Database is one version of the truth for Data and Schema

DBA doesn’t have access to changes until he/she has deploy or reject choice

Changes often made to production database and not rolled back into test

Schema Management Schema Change now managed in VSTS and TFS Production Database is now “One version of the truth” only for Data DBA doesn’t have access to changes until he/she has deploy or reject choice “ One Version of the truth for Schema” is Under Source Control Tuning Monitoring “ One Version of the Truth” for Data “ One Version of the Truth” for Schema Offline Under Source Control Schema Changes Changes can be rolled out in a scheduled, managed way Scripts allow administrators to mange change updates Production Database Management Studio Schema
