changes across all db's

  • I need to find the best way to make changes to all metadata my databases.

    1. We can do it manually 🙁

    2. We can use merge replication (needs investigation)

    3. We can write our own scripts.

    search all instances for a metadata database

    if db exists check to see if the change exists (ie. new constraint, new column,cell value)

    if it doesn't exist ALTER TABLE

    send a mail back to DBA for each change made and where

    What do you think is the best way?

  • Personally I would go the scripts route as you have a record of the changes made. Manual would be my next suggestion. Merge may cause issues.

  • Manual is probably the best.
