SQL database / version control
« on: December 19, 2012, 11:30:54 pm »
I'm currently using a SQL DB to store our coprorate model. I'm now exploring using version control against this model. Does the use of a SQL DB preclude me from utilising version control (check in/check out), i.e. can I use EITHER something like SQL as a data store, and have no version control  OR   use something like CVS or subversion as my data store which will also enable version control / source code management mechanisms.

I realize my question may reflect my lack of understanding of the relationship between version control management tools and data stores, rather than a lack of understanding of how to configure Sparx. If so, sorry!!!!

Can anybody guide me?

Andy,

The type of repository is irrelevant to the use of version control.
So yes you can use SQL Server AND Version Control.
