RE: Pre-commit hook

We are using CruiseControl for a similar thing.

What I am trying to do it to prevent faulty scripts get getting into source control in the first place. Developers test against a single database, but, we have 100's of databases. Right now, there is a process that is done on the side outside of version control to test the scripts against all databases. I am trying to integrate that process into version control to make check-ins part of our process instead of an afterthought.

Basically, I trying to reduce overhead on the developer. But, as has been pointed out, this is either a pre checkin activity OR a build issue.

Thanks,
Scott

I would prefer a CI system such as Hudson that polls svn and checks out the scripts and runs them against your database.

using a pre-commit or post-commit hook is tight coupling your CI with your source control aka a bad thing

what happens when the database is down and you've left on holidays for two weeks? nobody can commit

I have a process in place that sanity checks SQL scripts. The user can take a list set of scripts which are then run against a series of databases to see if they run. The user is given feedback as they run. If the scripts fail, the user is told which database the script failed against.

I want to put that process in place as pre-commit hook. So far so good. But, I would like to provide real time progress to the user that did the commit.

Any ideas on how I could pull this off? AFAIK, the pre commit hook is only run on the server, and, there is no way for the user to see it. Correct?

Thanks,
Scott
