Re: [php-139] Dev Environment: PHP/MySQL version control

I think version control systems are pretty exclusive to code. If you're working with a certain kind of framework like Symfony, the development database is auto-generated from YAML files. So essentially schema is getting into version control. However once that goes into production you're not replacing the database every time you update code. Code can change but schema can't without fucking with data... which would be unacceptable in most cases.

Has anyone come across a good method for keeping their source code and database schema in sychronized version control so that you can roll back code and schema simultaneously if need be?

In particular I would be super stoked if there were something out there like springloops (www.springloops.com- web based SVN manager) with a web GUI that keeps your DBs in sync and allows you to easily deploy from dev to production.

Is this just wishful thinking or has anyone seen it?
