Limited Forecast is a mode of Forecast that selectively profiles database objects based on the changes targeted for Deployment. This significantly reduces the time spent on the Forecast & Full Deploy.
Limited Forecast can be set as the default mode at the project level in the project settings or at the Deployment Step level with a simple check box.
Notes:
- Because a full profile of the database is not created during Limited Forecast, some Post Forecast rules may be skipped because the objects they depend on are not present in the Post Deploy Model.
- Associated objects for non-referenced tables are not profiled:
- primary keys
- columns
- indices
- check constraints
- foreign key constraints
- unique constraints
- Objects that are profiled for referenced tables:
- views
- triggers
- procedures
- functions
- packages
- synonyms
- sequences
- materialized views
- All table names are selected during Limited Profile. This gives Datical the capability of detecting duplicate object creations for non-referenced tables during Limited Forecast.
- With versions 7.13 and above, in multi-schema projects, Limited Forecast will only profile the schemas that are relevant to the current deployment.
