Estimating the term…
An approach for enabling collaborative development of a database application is provided. Specifically, this approach provides a database development and collaboration tool (DDCT), which can be utilized by multiple developers involved in a particular software project, to enable automated synchronization and database version control by allowing a database development language and data changes to be stored in a metadata form that is general to more than one database management system (DBMS). Each developer is united and able to collaborate through the system, thus ensuring that a change to a database structure and/or data in a static data table created in a particular database language by one developer is automatically incorporated in the overall development process. Furthermore, the DDCT provides the opportunity to maintain a single repository entry for more than one DBMS, which simplifies synchronization.
