What is the recommended method of collecting items in a server database, versioning the
database then deploying only the version differences to a client ?
Should it by a field in the table (ie. Version: 3.3.9876) against each record ?
Should it be DateTime (server based) in each record ?
And whats the best way to just deploy the changes to a client with an older version of the database ?
Is it a DUMP to a file with a Bulk import of some description ?
Open to comments.. Suggestions.
Database can be anything (firebird, mysql, sqlserver, sqlite)…
Any info greatly appreciated.
