The Alagad crew (well my team at least) is happily working with a client to help them create a next-generation product data management system. This is easily the largest and most complex system I’ve ever worked on. Yesterday I was breaking ground on the next and final major section of the application. I spent the previous days coming up with use cases, etc, and planning my approach to the architecture for this section. As a part of that I defined a set of SQL tables and I spent yesterday actually creating the tables. I tend to create tables in my local database and, once they’re finalized, I email scripts to our DBA who adds them to the “gold” copy of the database which is deployed to our client’s servers. So, today, I’m working through some high-level code and I realize I need the latest copy of the database. So I grab the latest revision out of SVN and restore it over my local copy. (Anyone see where this is headed?) And get back to work. This is when I start getting weird errors about objects not existing. D’oh!
