Database schema change tracking
Schema Change Tracking keeps the history of changes detected in source databases while importing schema using import schema changes functionality.
How it works
During each schema import, if schema change tracking is enabled, Dataedo compares schema elements (tables, columns, data types, and other attributes) and saves changes in the repository (in dedicated tables).
Reports
Dataedo provides interactive schema change reports inside the Dataedo editor.
There are three different reports:
- Documentation level
- Module level
- Object level
Commenting
On the reports, users can comment on specific schema changes using the Comments field. Along with the comment, the date and username of the person who last updated the comment are saved and displayed.
Exporting
Dataedo 7 does not include schema change reports in the exports. They will be visible in Dataedo 8 through the Dataedo Web Portal feature.
