Normally when we put new feature\fix live we take one server out of the loop, than we put new app code, we test it and then we bring it back to the loop. But we've started to have a problem when we had to change stored procedures at the same time to run the new app code, becouse either 'test' server won't work either production application won't work. I wonder is there any good solution for this problem.

P.S. Sorry for the forum topic but I didn't know where to put it.
what I understand is that your stored procedure signature is still the same but its implementation is changed in such a way that only the new application code can work with it. Your configuration is mulitple application servers talking to 1 SQL Server. In that case, let us say you have 10 application servers. I will take 5 (let us call them group-A) of those out of the loop, install new app code. Note, your app is still up and running though at 1/2 the capacity. you can test your group-A with another SQL Server (say the test SQL Server that has new stored procs). Once it is done, you can take other group of app servers offline (this will cause short term unavailability of your application), change the stored proc on the production SQL Server, and then bring group-A online. Now you can do the same with other set of application servers.
|||That was very helpful, but I'm more after stored procedure versioning solution. Sometimes we need old and new code running (part of requests are hitting old and other new code). Thanks in advance.|||http://weblogs.asp.net/fmarguerie/archive/2003/02/24/2880.aspx fyi.sql
