Good luck once you have customers using your system.  We’re trying to come up with a solution here as well so very interested in responses for how to do a DB compare of dev and prod.  The standard dbcompare solution times out trying to complete a comparison.

Subject: [Vtigercrm-developers] vTiger Development using GIT

 

We are starting to use GIT to manage our vTiger deployments and customisations, and have quickly realised that a large part of the process involves trying to control changes to the database (e.g. adding fields, workflows etc) that we need to be able to easily merge/migrate from development to live deployments. 

Has anyone successfully been using GIT and also working with managing database changes as well?

The best suggestion I've seen so far is to create an automated script that creates a database dump prior to performing a GIT commit, which exports the necessary tables. (Not sure what the necessary tables are, Im thinking it would be easier to define which tables NOT to export)

This would then need to be merged with any existing database.

 

​Interested to see if anyone else has a solution, or another way round the problem.​
