I want to change database development from creating change scripts to automatically generating change scripts from the declarative defitinitions. How would I go about doing that for PL/SQL on an Oracle DB?
You can find a short introduction at section "Version Datamodel" here on stackoverflow. I've worked on this interesting area for many years, starting in 1994 on Oracle7 to allow automatic overnight going in production. Not all nights I got my sleep...
For Invantive Producer, we have a boot-package that runs on Oracle 11 and up and takes care of automatic upgrades, but it is over 8.000 lines. The boot package is called by PL/SQL when bootstrapping and later on takes it instructions from a repository with software definitions. The repository is described at Technical Reference Manual , also a Diagram is available and might give some inspiration.
I can give you a sample of such as procedure, please let me know what types of objects you would like to automatically generate DDL for, then I can add things when necessary.
procedure verify_index
( p_table_name varchar2
, p_index_name varchar2
, p_index_unique boolean default null
, p_column_list varchar2
)
;
and
procedure verify_index
( p_mode pls_integer
, p_table_name varchar2
, p_index_name varchar2
, p_index_unique boolean default null
, p_column_list varchar2

verify_index
