Introduction
Devart Team introduces dbForge Schema Compare for Oracle as an alternative to Oracle Change Management Pack.
These two solutions are intended to help database administrators (DBAs) and application developers to automate the process of promoting planned schema changes from development to production. They also help enterprises easily identify the impact of application upgrades on customizations and can pinpoint and remediate unplanned schema changes that are often the cause of application downtime.
Overview of Oracle Change Management Pack
Oracle Change Management Pack helps enterprises assess the impact of application upgrades by automatically identifying schema changes specific to each customization.
The tool can provide application developers with the specific details on each schema changes such as new columns added to tables, old indexes that were dropped or business logic changes made to PL/SQL based objects, so that they can modify their customization accordingly.
Using Oracle Change Management Pack, DBAs can pinpoint ad hoc changes made to production databases by comparing the current production environment with an established gold baseline standard representing the optimal state of the production database schema.
Upon identifying the missing or misconfigured schema objects, DBAs can restore the production environment to its original state by re-generating the relevant database objects from the established baseline standard.
