Domesticating Databases

Hello, XPers!

I'm happy to announce our first meetup for 2015. Come join us as we learn about databases and how they fit (or don't fit) into our continuous delivery plans.

Title: Domesticating Databases

Description:

Are you a programmer interested in saving hours diff-ing databases before each release, trying to figure out what changed, making sure all your ducks are in a row? Ever found yourself ready to test something, only to find someone dropped the table you were using in a shared database?

Are you a database expert that would like to spend less time executing other people’s SQL scripts and more time providing advice? Would you like to find out about problems before you release database changes? Don't you want to release changes faster?

Do you secretly wish databases were easier to work with?

Come join us and learn how to tame your database. We’ll look at techniques like versioning database changes, leveraging local databases, automating the application of changes, and automating database changes during releases.
