A method for generating automated scripts for installing objects into databases on database servers. A script generator inputs parameters such as the target database server identifier and a list of target databases for the installation. The script generator also inputs a hierarchical directory tree with files at the child nodes containing object installation instructions. The script generator traverses the directory tree, starting with the root node, and generates an installation script. The script generator can also input a time/date at which the installation script will be automatically executed, allowing for unattended operation of the object installation procedure. Thus, a database administrator is substantially shielded from the complexity of the installation process and installations can be standardized across multiple database servers and databases.
A computer-implemented method for creating an installation script for installing a set of objects into a database in a database instance on a database server, comprising:
A computer program product for creating an installation script for installing a set of objects into a database in a database instance on a database server, the computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having computer readable program code stored thereon, the computer readable program code comprising program code for
A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having an encoded data structure stored thereon, the data structure comprising a hierarchical branching tree, the tree including a root node containing a database identifier and a database server identifier, the tree further containing at least one child node descending from the root node, the at least one child node containing at least one instruction file, the at least one instruction file containing program instructions for installing at least one object into a database on a database server, the at least one instruction file identified by a filename with a specified extension, the specified extension for identifying the file as an object installation instruction file.
