The upgrade scripts would be massive and it would take many hours to run in just a couple of new objects. When all i want from my config management tool is for it to understand which files are in a release and to only extract those files. I run a 8 terrabyte database with 50000+ objects. To use this method and go through each table and look at the versions would be crazy. We dont run several different versions of the DB only 1 so the ruby approach would not be much help. I would have thought it would be a simple SVN issue to only package the files that are needed for the release rather than the entire branch??? I thank you for your help... 9-5 Frustrated :-) The ruby on rails framework looks great and may solve another issue we are looking at but doesnt help me with version control.

The Rails way is to store your changes in separate, numbered files. This way you can define what "version" of your database model you're currently running. Read http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Migration.html for more details about Rails migrations. It may give you some great ideas to solve your own issue. @Kingsley: if you look at Ruby on Rails, there is also database development involved.

I have 4000 procedures but only want to update say 2 or 3. Im stuggling to mkake subversion extract just the files i have changed. I still want to retain the history of those files as i cant be sure when i will be releasing cases(Containing objects). Does anyone have experience in this area? Am i looking at this the wrong way? Or is this just the wrong tool for the job?

Besides that, there were some issues, especially with rewrite rules, that were all solved by moving back to Apache. Another reason for me to use Apache is Passenger (mod_rails).

And Slicehost has a lot of great articles on how to use nginx. Another way to digg-proof your site: use a lightweight web server like nginx or lighttpd.
