Team Development Database Considerations
When developing database applications in a team development environment, considerations must be made on the development database environment. Servoy Developer allows a developer to connect to the database they are developing against. This database can be a local database to the development machine, or it could be a shared database on a the database server.
Reasons To Use a Local Database
- Distributed developers - Developers may be in various locations and a shared database may not be conducive to security, maintenance, etc.
- Offline development - Developer may not have consistent connections to the database server.
- Platform preferences - Developers may have different database platforms or may purposely need to use a different platform for various reasons.
- Development isolation - If a single developer is working on a new features that may change the database in a way that will affect other developers adversely.
Reasons To Use a Shared Database
- Test data - It is easier to provide test data for all developers and to use the same test data if the database is shared.
