    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for exporting a database container from a database includes exporting database container metadata including artifact definitions in the metadata along with the actual metadata content to a database management system, exporting the database container including the database objects deployed therein to the database management system. The exporting of the database container includes exporting dependencies and structures of the database objects deployed therein, but not the actual content of the database objects. In some instances, however, exporting of the database container can include exporting the actual content of the database objects in response to user request. The method further includes packing the exported database container metadata and the exported database container in an archive. The data in the archive can be unpacked in substantially reverse order to import the database container into another database.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a new development infrastructure is provided that provides an external repository for database definitions. The development infrastructure also then includes a development mode. When using the development mode, the behavior of the development infrastructure is modified to better fit the development of database artifacts. The developer uses a development base version of a definition (usually the latest released version of the definition) but also creates migrations that indicate how the development base version should be modified to arrive at the developer's intended new definition. While still in development mode, the deployment may be run, which causes data in the development mode that uses the old definition to be dropped and replaced by the base version. The development mode then executes the specified migrations.
