RE: Rollback Schema Changes

As others have pointed out, flashback database with guaranteed restore points 
sounds like what you're looking for.  We've been using this for years and 
(hopefully) have resolved all major issues related to this.  We now have a 
script to automate this process.

Subject: Rollback Schema Changes

We have a requirement to automate or provide control to developers to rollback 
all schema changes.

For example:  starting from a base line - test A performed - rollback to 
baseline - test B performed - rollback to baseline - test C performed - 
rollback to baseline.

There can be hundreds of tests and this needs to be easily managed and 
automated from the application.

Would datapump and/or flashback database work for this type of regression 
testing?

Thanks for your ideas.
