I have heard a comment that using a DDL script for a database installation is anti-agile. Is this true and if so why? I have been looking online for my answers but couldn’t find anything.
Thanks

I don’t know your exact context, but I would say that DDL is very pro-agile as it supports a repeatable installation process. Maybe they meant that designing the entire database prior to development is anti-agile. I would tend to agree with this assessment, but there is nothing inherently anti-agile about DDL.
Hope that helps!
