Running EA with RDBMS and version control

[Adam Andrzejewski]

Hello
Currently our EA is configured to use RDBMS as a source for our models.
Is it possible to attach version control and still keep eap file in the database? Are there any limitations in this case?

[Geert Bellekens]

Yes it is possible, no there are no limitations.

Hi Adam,

To add to waht Geert is saying...

All "flavours" of EA use an RDBMS - if you're using an .EAP file you're using an MS Access RDBMS (single file) directly (natively) accessed.  If you're using Server based RDBMSs (such as SQL Server or Oracle etc) - you're just using server based access (via an ODBC connection) rather than a direct access.

All "flavours" of EA use source control in the same way, by "exporting" (explicitly or implicitly) an XMI specification of the controlled package to the Source Control Repository (whether subversion, VSS, ClearCase etc).

HTH,
Paolo
