2026 - Redgate Flyway - Starting strong with Oracle

Deploying changes to Oracle databases can be complex from working across multiple schemas, handling dependencies, and accounting for environment differences. Flyway has been helping teams bring order and automation to Oracle development for over 15 years and in 2026 we’re accelerating that investment even further. Here’s a look at the latest enhancements available today and what’s coming next for Oracle users.

Control your dependencies in Flyway Desktop for Oracle and SQL Server Databases

This is a guest post from Stephanie Herr. One of Flyway’s biggest strengths is its ability to track your database schema as individual SQL DDL scripts on disk. This gives you full version control over every object, along with a complete audit trail of what changed, who changed it, when it changed, and why. For teams working with Oracle and/or SQL Server, this level of transparency is essential and this latest release provides even more support for how you handle changes across dependent objects.

Redgate Test Data Manager Product Updates - January 2025

This is a guest post from James Hemson. The January release of Redgate Test Data Manager brings the launch of our free trial, a completely redesigned installation experience, and powerful new workflow capabilities. These updates make it faster to get started and easier to automate your data provisioning pipelines.

Compliant Test Data Used to Be Hard. It Isn't Anymore.

This is a guest post from Saskia Parks. If you're exploring test data management (TDM) solutions, you probably know your current practices aren't ideal, but you're skeptical investing in a solution is worth the budget and effort. We hear the same concerns. The perception is that proper TDM is expensive, complicated, and takes months of painful implementation.

Redgate Flyway, Oracle, and the Case of the Lowercase Schema

If you’ve spent any time working with Oracle databases, you’ve probably internalized a few expectations so deeply that you don’t even think about them anymore. One of the biggest is this: Database users, tables, views, and metadata are in UPPERCASE. So, when you query the database directly, no matter if using SQL*Plus, SQLcl,SQL Developer, or any other tool, you’re going to format your query in a common way.

Your Test Data Environment: Build vs Buy - a conversation we need to have

After three decades of working with databases, one thing I’ve seen over and over is this: we don’t treat our development and test environments with the same respect we do our production systems. Not because people don’t care. Far from it. It’s usually because teams are under pressure, everyone’s juggling multiple priorities, and the quickest path forward often wins the day.

Why test data management is becoming increasingly important to senior IT leaders

We recently sat down with James Phillips, Senior IT Leader, to talk about test data management (TDM) and the growing attention it’s getting from the senior IT leaders. It’s been prompted by the recognition that provisioning test and development environments with realistic production-like data improves the quality of code being developed, reduces errors, and deliver new features to customers faster.
