Pros
"The tool had features similar to Git for version control. It offered branching and merging capabilities, providing better control over code management. Integration was possible with other tools, including some change management tools. The overall process was normal.""ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment.""IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution. I have not had any difficulty with reliability."

More IBM Rational ClearCase Pros →

"They have some nice features around the automation of rule checking. They have a rules engine that checks the SQL code so that you can actually do your edit checks on the validity of the SQL code. If you don't want certain tables to be able to have certain things done to them, you can have it checked for that. It's a very flexible way to kind of do an automated peer review of the SQL code to catch things before you actually try to deploy it."

    Liquibase is a migration-based open source database version control solution that relies on a changelog to track what changesets have been deployed to a database, and what additional changesets needs to be applied to a database in order to migrate a database schema to a specific version. Liquibase supports an XML model for defining changesets so that database schema changes can easily be translated to another DBMS platforms. As an open source solution, Liquibase is ideal for smaller teams and projects or for teams that have ample time to invest in extending and adapting the open source capability to meet their needs.
