Abstract
Many practical cases of database schema evolution require an effective support from configuration management. Although DBMS construction and software configuration management (SCM) constitute the well established areas of research, they are usually considered in separation from each other. In this paper different issues of SCM are summarized and their relevance to DBMS is investigated. We suggest to extend the OODBMS metamodel to allow recording certain aspects of application-database dependencies in a database schema repository. The extended metamodel contains both typical database metamodel information as well as software configuration information. Such a solution we consider necessary for solving some of schema evolution problems.
