Change management [Mandatory]
- Establish a formal process for submitting requesting, approval and implementation of changes to a database
- Document all database changes comprehensively. This includes changes to schema, indexes, stored procedures, triggers, and configuration settings
- Use version control systems for database schema and code changes. This helps track modifications, roll back changes if needed, and collaborate effectively
- Have dedicated testing environments where you can validate changes before deploying them to the production database.
