Friends ...

I have a (sort of) problem ... what are the best practices to manage code releases to production environment ...

currently we get a bunch of scripts from development team, and we release code to production on the schedule (currently twice a month). But this is not complete. The scripts we get consists of various DML and DDL statements.

We do not have a mechanism to roll-back these changes in place and I am seeking your opinion on ways to achieve these. Also we would like to implement script dependencies (which we manage manually right now) and rollback mechanism.

Are there any good practices papers? I know these would be site specific, but I am looking for common methods.

Hope I make myself clear ... (and if it matters it is Oracle 9.2 and Forms/Reports) application.
Raj
