Do you like the Refresh Design functionality as it is now?

  • Go to menu Application - Refresh Design…
  • Select the correct server.
  • Wait…

    Repeat for the next databases.



    This is ok, as long as you don't need to do this that often, and as long as there aren't a lot of databases to refresh. If you're like me, you also have databases with a lot of dependencies, different servers, development/test/production,… and then a little change you'd like to deploy ends in an RSI nightmare (t.i. if you didn't drop dead of boredom).



    There's also the extremely dangerous combination of boring, repetitive work and precision expected.



    Now enter the world of Refresh Divine: do this once:
  • Build a design refresh profile for each application you'd like to refresh.
  • Set the refresh order for the databases of the same database family.



    After initial setup, you just have to grab a cup of coffee, select the refresh design profiles you'd like to apply and press a button!
