It’s in git. In our current but on its last legs env we had a inhouse built tool that would compare a release branch with master and build a series files we’d throw at the DBA to run updating procs, tables, views, etc. Had procs built to preserve data when ddl changed and what not. Very painful. This was on Netezza.-
Now we are moving to Azure Synapse… And we are using Azure DevOps instead of Bitbucket and it works but its jank. Our git repo is now actually tied to the DB through the use of release pipelines. PRs on master will get released automatically… That said most recent update from msft and now it takes 7hrs just for the deployment plan to build.
Its not great… My company is addicted to stored procs. I hear there is some projects looking into databricks, azure data factory, sparks, etc… For now my life is pain and complaints, just trying to get people to learn to love git. BI here before I joined unfortunately not IT minded.
Edit: didn’t even touch on testing… And frankly half the devs seem like they don’t/don’t know how to even do impact analysis… If you change a column, at minimum search the code base for impacts… Don’t just deploy and blow up our prod cause you’re mismatching sizes
