| What are the phases in the release pipeline for applications? | When you create the project, you create a step for each phase in the release pipeline. The step includes connection information and step settings. | Identifying Databases for the Release Pipeline |
| What are the release pipeline contents? | When you configure a project, you specify the database schema it manages. You choose from single-schema, multi-schema, and multi-database projects. | Release Pipeline Contents: Database Schema |
| Create an audit database. | An audit database is used by projects to record operation activity. The audit database does not need to be the same type as the managed databases in the release pipeline. You need to do the following:
| For 2 and 3: Configuring a Project to Use the Audit Database |
| Determine how to manage database credentials. | Typically you create a service user for Datical DB on each database in the release pipeline. You then configure project steps to use the credentials. By default credentials are stored with in the datical.project file. You can also set up dynamic runtime credentials, where operations prompt the user or read an environment variable any time they need to access the database. . We strongly recommend to use runtime credentials because it is more secure than stored credentials (due to the possibility of the stored password being decoded). | Database Credential Management |
