SQL Saturday #265 is coming to Portland, Oregon on Nov 16, 2013 and the day before, on Friday, we have another SQL in the City Seminar. Grant and I will be in the city talking about database version control, automated build and test, and database deployment best practices.

This is another of our SQL in the City Seminars. We’ve had 4 this year so far and we’re looking to do a few more this year and even more in 2014. This is a free, half day event where you can come and learn about some of the tips and techniques that Red Gate has learned about database development.

I’m not sure who will be covering which sessions, but we have three that all build on the theme of better deploying software. We’ll be presenting:

• Team-based Database Development with Version Control
• Automated Build and Test
• Best Practices for Database Deployment

We walk through the steps for better tracking code, testing it, and then moving it from one environment to the next.

These are intermediate level concepts and suitable for DBAs, developers, managers, anyone that wants a smoother software delivery process.

Join us if you’re in the Portland area on Nov 15 by registering today. It’s free, but we have a limited amount of space.
