Success Story: Version Control for PL/SQL

It’s been a little over three months since we released Gitora 2.0 and the first success stories have started to emerge. Here is one of them:


Rhenus Logistics, the leading logistics company from Germany uses Gitora to manage their Oracle Database.

Problem

Rhenus IT uses both Java and PL/SQL to serve their users and customers. They have a team of about 10 PL/SQL developers. The team manages more than 20,000 database packages, views, functions, procedures, object types and triggers spread over 30+ database schemas.
Rhenus IT wanted to move to a continuous delivery environment in which they can be more agile and deliver solutions to the business faster. Managing the PL/SQL code was the hardest piece of the puzzle.

Solution

After experimenting with other solutions in the market, Rhenus decided to move forward with Gitora.

Gitora enabled Rhenus Developers to:
  • Use Git, the prominent open source version control system used by millions of developers.
  • Move their database code between development and various staging databases automatically.
  • Move code between source and target databases very fast because Gitora only executes differences between source and target databases, without comparing the code bases in both databases first (which can be very time consuming).
  • Enforce check-in, check-out of database objects at the database level.
  • Automate build process for the database code using Gitora API’s.
  • Implement an affordable continuous delivery solution compared to alternatives.
Michiel Arentsen, the System Architect at Rhenus who implemented the solution at Rhenus has started an excellent blog in which he writes about his Gitora implementation. We highly recommend you to check it out. Below are the list of blog posts he wrote which should be very useful to anyone who is currently implementing Gitora at his/her company:

My Coding Experience with an AI Assistant

  AI is real and it is here. Its implications for knowledge workers will be enormous, including you. There is no escaping AI in our line of work. Therefore, while building the new version of   Gitora PL/SQL Editor , I’ve fully embraced it. The last few months have been the most interesting, rewarding and productive period of my professional life. I’ve practically stopped using Google search and StackOverflow, two websites I’d consider essential to my work just a few months ago. I’ve coded the Gitora PL/SQL debugger virtually without reading a single line of documentation about how to build debuggers in Java or the specifics of how to build a Java debugger for PL/SQL. I am not even sure if there is any documentation available about building a PL/SQL debugger on the Internet. I just talked about these topics with ChatGPT and analyzed, used the code snippets it produced. All CSS and almost all of the run-of-the-mill code I needed to write for the debugger and the Gitora AI A...
