ColdFusion + Migrations
Wait. What? Database versioning with ColdFusion? Not exactly. If you’re building any type of web application on Linux or Unix (Mac OS X included), there’s no reason you can’t leverage a little bit of ruby goodness in the form of ActiveRecord::Migration.
Migrations in ActiveRecord do a wonderful job of versioning your database, especially if you work on a distributed team, or each developer has their own local environment, and you use git. Forget managing SQL statements that updates your table structure, that’s for the birds.
If you’re interested, you should definitely check out the standalone-migrations gem.
After all, it’s about using the best tool for the job.
