Hi, I'm modelling a class diagram and I'm absolutely stuck with this issue: My new web application has "cards" (entries about a subject) which can be modified by the users, à là wiki.

I develop a certain server. Till now, two versions could not be installed at the same time. We're now changing that, and the question came up: should the version number be appended to the server components or not? The server contains 3 exes and 5 dlls (some COM, some native VC++).

Historical data will be an important aspect of this project so I've also created Audit Tables to which current data will be moved to on a regular basis. I find this strategy highly inefficient. Even if I only archive d...

This question contains some excellent coverage of how to design a database history/revision scheme for data like numbers or multiple choice fields. However, there is not much discussion of large text fields, as often found in blog/Q&A/wiki/document type systems. So, what would be considered good practice for storing the history of a te...

I'm an absolute newbie when it comes down to subversion and SVN (don't even know the difference). As I'm developing a pretty big website I'm looking for a way to take care of different versions (PHP, CSS, JavaScript files and MySQL database) and to make backups. I would like to use a web based system so I have an external backup. I'm not...
We currently have many office products and a embedded product. They all have the same version scheme major.minor.build number.svn revision. With nightly and manual builds incrementing the build number. From a development support front this makes it really easy to manage 'correct version', but the in-field support guys panic when one too...
I've read a few questions on SO (such as this one) in regards to versioning your data within a database. I liked some of the suggestions that were mentioned. I have for the longest time wanted (needed) to revision many of my tables but never got around to it. Being a programmer with only simple database work under my belt I was wonder...

I would like to have a git repository that consists mainly of binary files. I need to keep track of the changed, added and removed files to the repository, but I don't want for git to version the content of the files themselves. In other words, I just need for git to keep track of changes (change log), but not the content. Is this ev...

I want to store a set of integers that get auto incremented at build time: int MajorVersion = 0; int MinorVersion = 1; int Revision = 92; When I compile, it would auto-increment Revision. When I build the setup project, it would increment MinorVersion (I'm OK with doing this manually). MajorVersion would only be incremented manually. ...
