Oracle version control and change control?

Oracle Tips by Burleson Consulting

Question: Are there tools for managing a PL/SQL change
control and version control system? I want to track
versions and also track who changed a PL/SQL stored
procedure and when the PL/SQL was changed.

Answer: There are a variety of third-party Oracle change
control and version control tools

*

Open source tools such as SCCS (Source Code Control
System) for Oracle. This is superseded by the Gnu CSSC
version control software.

*

OEM change control pack from Oracle

*

Oracle's SQL Developer also has an interface for
third-party change control and version control.

*

Merant PVCS (Serena) version control for Oracle

*

Mercury ITG ( Formally Kintana) for Oracle revision,
change control and Oracle version control.

Many folks use open-source tools such as the Source Code
Control System (SCCS), which has a check-in, check-out
routine. Oracle's SQL Developer also has an interface for
change control and version control:

"With 1.1, users can now access these files from their
version control systems," Harper said. "They open them up in
SQL Developer, and then they can edit those files and return
them to their version control system."

Oracle also has SCM (Software control Manager) that has
version control for repository objects with check-in, check
out. The version control is enabled within SCM in the
Repository Administration Utility, where you choose "Options
> Enable Version Support".

Also, Kishore Pagadala has published this code snippet for
tracking PL/SQL code changes:

-- Create history table
CREATE TABLE SOURCE_HIST
AS SELECT SYSDATE CHANGE_DATE, USER_SOURCE.*
FROM USER_SOURCE WHERE 1=2;

-- Store code in hist table
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER change_hist
AFTER CREATE ON SCOTT.SCHEMA
-- Change SCOTT to your schema name

DECLARE
BEGIN
IF DICTIONARY_OBJ_TYPE
IN ('PROCEDURE', 'FUNCTION',
'PACKAGE', 'PACKAGE BODY', 'TYPE') THEN

-- Store old code in SOURCE_HIST table
INSERT INTO SOURCE_HIST
SELECT sysdate, user_source.*
FROM USER_SOURCE
WHERE TYPE = DICTIONARY_OBJ_TYPE
AND NAME = DICTIONARY_OBJ_NAME;
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
raise_application_error(-20000, SQLERRM);
END;
