Oracle Toad Team Coding

Oracle Toad Team Coding

Sure you can use source control and Team work server with Toad IDE that helps Developers and database Administrators to manage code changes in Oracle Database with confidence of no overwriting the changes of other team members .

Developers and Admins can work with same Procedures , Functions , packages triggers and Types and check-in – check-out their source code …Developer can reserve his source code to prevent any other developer to overwrite same source code .

Setup Team Coding:

-      Login in Toad with DBA privileges (system , sys ..)

-      Setup will create a new database schema in Database server with “ Toad ” User Name (recommended to leave default name Toad) witch will be as metadata provides the functionality to team work .

-      This schema will be shared with all Work team without risk of override the      changes made by other developers .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember : Developers could not edit source code unless 

check-out File or database objects

Source code will be locked after Checked-in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Let us Start

Steps:

Login to TOAD as sysdba (use DBA privileges )

Select Configure Team Coding: 

Utilities menu > Team Coding > Configure Team Coding

1. 2.     Edit Code Collections

1. 3.     Freeze Team Coding Objects

1. 4.     Break another user’s Team Coding lock

-      Let us Test Team coding to record editing source code 
 

The script to generate the Team Coding Objects will be displayed on screen. Click Execute:

Enter the password for the TOAD database user:

Installation for Team Coding is completed (took less than a minute):

Now the database is configured to use Team Coding across all the schemas. Above steps are needed to be completed only once per database. Click on “Enable Team Coding for this Database”:

This setup is the basic setup, where working on a single object at a time gives enough control. Once you check out any object, it is available in Team Coding Dashboard.

-       Create new Procedure

-       Now press Check-in to lock your code and prevent update
