Dear techies,
I would be greatly thankful, if somebody
could suggest me whether RCS would serve my below purpose ?
We have a Project group which stores
image data types in a SQL database. These individual images are parts of
a complete image.
A query is run on the SQL database to
generate a complete image.
The individual images in the SQL database,
are updated every week.
So, the query also changes accordingly. The SQL queries should be saved &
the corresponding retrieved data also should be versioned.
So that, if I want to get the same data
at a later point of time, I should be able to query it from the saved query.
Now, the question is... Is there
a way to version control SQL queries, in RCS ?
And, is there a way to track the
changes done to the SQL database, in RCS(or any other tool) ?
Also, I need some good backup tool
for SQL DB. It should only backup the delta(change) w.r.t its previous
backup, instead of a complete DB backup.
Thanks, in advance.
Best Regards,
Dilip
