ABSTRACT:
A method and system for integrating an object-based application with a version control system. Selected objects of an application such as a database are converted to individual text files and written to a temporary folder. The individual text files are then exported from the temporary folder to a version control system, whereby the version control system manages the files for developers and other developers according to its capabilities. Developers can check in individual objects for revising, whereby the text file corresponding to the checked-in object is exported by the version control system to a temporary folder and the data therein converted back into data in the object. An application program interface is provided to facilitate communication between application programs and the version control program for importing and exporting the text files and exchanging other related information.
