Release preparation

Release Plans

Build review-only handoffs for supported schema candidates without turning DbState into a database execution tool.

Release Plans help teams prepare a controlled handoff after Repository-to-Database Schema Compare.

They are not deployments.

Review sequence

A typical Release Plan workflow is:

  1. Run Repository-to-Database Schema Compare.
  2. Inspect differences.
  3. Open Object Diff.
  4. Select supported candidates.
  5. Build a Release Plan.
  6. Prepare supported review-only artifacts.
  7. Review the artifact externally.
  8. Execute approved SQL outside DbState.

Safety boundary

Generated artifacts are not executed by DbState. Database execution remains outside DbState.

Manual-review cases

Destructive or unsupported cases may remain manual-review cases. DbState does not pretend that every schema difference has a universally safe automated resolution.

Release Plans do not provide:

  • Direct database apply
  • Generated SQL execution inside DbState
  • Automatic rollback
  • Transactional deployment
  • Automatic Git staging or commits

This page does not provide an exhaustive SQL support matrix. Use the current Private Beta documentation and product review surfaces to determine whether a specific difference is supported.
