You can compare any version to the previous or current iterations. Git tracks changes between committed versions at a line by line level. Commits are accompanied by messages explaining the reasons for the change. A set of changes is registered with version control software when you commit them. Git is a type of distributed version control. Version control tracks changes to code files, like a SQL query.

With version control, you’d still have all the history the multiple copies provide (or more) without saving all the copies! It’s magical! ✨ With version control, the list above might look like this: SuperImportantQuery.sql Version control is an alternative to saving multiple copies of a file to keep change history. You may have a directory on your computer with a bunch of files that looks like this: SuperImportantQuery.sql

I’ll show you how to get set up to version control SQL using GitHub and DBeaver. This tutorial attempts to show you how git works without explaining all its mysteries up front. I think the best way to learn is by doing, but that’s not helpful when it’s so hard to learn how to start. There are lots of resources out there for understanding git, all of which make way more sense when you already understand git. Even understanding what git is can be hard if you’ve never used version control before.

Help us compare queries to find differencesĬompare a previous version to a new version of a queryĪllow me to undo a change made to my code that didn’t have the intended effectĪllow our team to collaborate when someone needed help with a queryīut in practice, I had no idea how all of it would work. In theory, I knew that version control could: We changed hundreds of SQL queries from one SQL dialect to another. My interest in version control started when my team was assigned a big conversion project.
