Hi All, Perhaps this list has been a bit too idle of late, and there is a question that I have been pondering for a while, so I figure that I could ask this...

Steve I would cautiously say yes. To my mind there's a complex equation involving project management, team structure, parallel development, variants, ...
Hi Steve, I can't see why workspaces are a bad thing but I see situations were workspaces are not available. I would prefer to have private workspaces where ...
... Sure: 1- In a situation where large numbers of directory changes are being made. (E.g., initial java development, web site work, video game development, or...

I've seen two cases where I think I would prefer a shared workspace over private workspaces. 1) Certain technologies force you into the model of shared...
I don't know about SAP, but I can think of two other systems I worked with that could illustrate your point. 1 - The Hogan Banking System (mainframe based) had...
Hi All, before answering the questions below I'd like to try an analysis of the problem we have: Problem A programmer has the need to fulfill his task as...
I've never encountered situations where the alternative (SharedWorkspace?) would have been better. There may be cases where there's too much reluctance to...
Hm, finally I will give in ;-) but only if someone will give a precise definition of a 'private workspace' especially considering nontrivial ones without the...
Hi all I think it would be nice if someone could start up a guidance for implementing the private workspace pattern. Sometimes it is a hard job to implement...
A great place for us to collect ideas about how to implement private workspace (and the other patterns) in special cases would be the wiki we set up for...
Hi all, I will be presenting to XP Denver (www.xpdenver.org) next Monday on the topic of "SCM for the Agile Community." It is free to the public and I ...

In projects I've worked on, we've always treated the Datamodel => DDL relationship much like the UML Model => Source Code relationship. Both the data modeling...

I agree with Mr Kent. A datamodeler tool - I used once PowerDesigner, but this once has no automated generation of the sqlddl - will do the trick. Sqlddl files...
