I’ll just update the shared database to be more consistent with the domain model
Hiro! I just upgraded the test database with that script that you gave me last week, but it doesn’t seem to be working. How do I know if the script has been applied correctly?
#1 Changes to shared database are immediately available to everyone (whether they want them or not)
#2 Claire couldn’t easily see what had changed to the database
#3 Suresh was applying database scripts one week after they were available
#4 Hiro had no way to see if database changes were applied successfully

Hiro had no way to see if database changes were applied successfully Version all database changes
