The appropriate RDBMS will be determined during the RFP stage of a project: Oracle 11g R2 (version ) Enterprise Edition is the preferred, and default, Ministry standard for relational databases. Oracle Standard Edition is available if required Where a business or technical reason requires, Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition 2014 is the alternative RDBMS. s and projects under the umbrella of Labour applications use SQL Server 2014 as the preferred standard for relational databases. Oracle Standard Edition is available if required. 6.0 Software Configuration Management (SCM) All project deliverables are to be managed through the Ministry s SCM methodology, which is available from the Ministry Change Manager. All developers will be required to connect to the Ministry AllFusion Harvest SCM repository. Non-database related deliverables such as code and documentation, will be managed and versioned within the Ministry s AllFusion Harvest change management repository. Oracle database deliverables will be created and versioned within the Ministry Oracle Designer 10g SCM repository. SQL Server database deliverables will be created and versioned in Harvest using the toolsets described in Section 2. s and projects under the umbrella of Labour applications have the following exceptions to this standard: All developers will be required to connect to the Team Foundation Server 2010 repository. Non-database related deliverables such as code and documentation, will be managed and versioned within the Team Foundation Server 2010 repository. SQL Server database deliverables will be created and versioned in Team Foundation Server 2010 using the toolsets described in Section Reasons for ADE standards The following have been defined as the reasons for having a Ministry ADE standard: They maintain the current investments in application development skills. Consistent with the line of business applications being developed within CSCD and JTST. They ensure consistency within the Ministry s application ecosystem. s can be developed using.net (either client or web-based) without sacrificing maintainability or performance, when compared with other ADEs..NET programming resources are readily available from the private sector. Oracle Designer is the government standard for process and data modeling, as well as for database design. Using Oracle RDBMS allows for leveraging of existing internal and external DBA resources.
