Before We Start • Questions – ask, but we may have to hold until end • http://projectroundhouse.org
Rob “FerventCoder” Reynolds • C# MVP • Technical Lead for Heartland Crop Insurance • Active in OSS • Chuck Norris Framework • NuGet core team member • Various contributions to other projects • ferventcoder – twitter, gmail, you name it • ferventcoder.com / Devlicio.us • Recently given a new nickname: Inspector Gadget
Past/Present • Worked w/ a database of some sort • How do you get changes? • Does it get any easier?
Why do we need migrations? • Things invariably will change • Very few systems require no changes over the years
Different Environments 1. Local (Developers) 4 . Production (Users) 2 . Test (Testers) 3 . Staging (Users/Proxies)
Let’s talk about Pain • How do you apply a database change one time? • How do you keep all environments in sync? • Databases change – updates with new/changed tables, views, stored procedures, etc • Databases store data • Deleting data is bad. Don’t be a bad monkey!
What is RoundhousE? • And why is kicking my database a good thing? • It’s easy to use • Make your auditors smile • Version your database • It’s environment aware • And that’s not even the cool stuff yet.
What does it work with? • SQL Server 2000/2005/2008/Express • Oracle • Access • MySQL (just added, still dark) • Soon: • PostgreSQL • SQLite
ChuckNorris • Suite of tools to help make developers more productive by scaffolding frameworks, etc • RoundhousE makes db migrations easy • http://groups.google.com/group/chucknorrisframework
Easy to use • One required parameter (/d) for database • Folder format • Comes with samples • Documentation is solid
Make Your Auditors Smile • Audit logging – who did exactly what when? • Auditing changes by capturing all scripts and logs each time
Version Your Database • 1.0.0.0 – version? • “What version is your database on?”
Environment Awareness • Scripts meant for an environment will only run in that environment • Default is “LOCAL”
Conventions / Customizable • The cool stuff • Don’t like RoundhousE as the schema? Change it • Don’t like the “up” folder? Change it • Don’t like xxxxx? Change it
Integrate into development • Also the cool stuff
How do I get RoundhousE? • gem install roundhouse • cinstroundhouse • nuget install roundhouse (for your local project) • Source (git / svn) – projectroundhouse.org • Old fashioned download – projectroundhouse.org
