Only lightly off your topic, it's worth looking at related Oracle-L threads
on the subject, eg:
//www.freelists.org/post/oracle-l/How-do-you-handle-Database-Configuration-Managementwhich
covers off several related issues.

If you have used VSS saving flat file representations of database objects
(eg the DDL for creating a table) in the past, anything you can do with VSS
you can do with Clearcase (probably more - Clearcase may be expensive but it
has a really good command line interface and a pretty clean logical model).
You can use files generated by TOAD, SQL*Developer, Oracle Designer,
DBMS_METADATA or whatever. Just get your processes organised so everyone
knows how to do it, and to make it as easy as possible to do the right
thing.

I don't know if there is a Clearcase forum anywhere (I didn't find one when
I needed it a few years ago)  - but if not, contact me off-list if you need
help with that side of things.

Cheers Nigel
