ROUNDTABLE PERK (and INSIDE LOOK) – Being able to quickly compare any TWO versions of your database schema at ANY POINT OF TIME is great for (a) documentation and (b) visually identifying changes.

How helpful is it when this fast pace leads to costly mistakes from unintentional errors and burnout from chasing bugs down? In this blog, Randall K. Harp, Roundtable Sof...

It’s a common misconception that Roundtable TSMS is a developer's tool. It's a debate worth revisiting. There’s much more "management" in Roundtable TSMS than you may think. These distinctions are important, especially when developing enterprise applications.

In a mad dash to deliver the next update, disciplined development practices are often pushed aside. All is well if there are no problems. What happens when there are?

Well-defined, repeatable processes take some discipline up front but are true time savers. If something goes wrong, the necessary infrastructure is in place to make quickly rolling back to a stable configuration simple and easy, preventing an already bad situation from getting dire.

❎ Lost time in production
❎ Lost confidence in your team

It can be tough to be the one to say, "There has to be a better way." Rest assured, there is. Perhaps now (rather than when it's too late) is the time to make a case.
