What to do when Update, Clean, Resolve everything else does not work?

[Bill Ewing <be...@nexusbio.com>]

We use Tortoise SVN 1.3,5 and Subclipse 1.0.3.  These are the latest
versions.
 
We periodically get Tortoise or Subclipse to fail to work correctly.  
 
For example, if we try to do a clean up, we get a "path is not a working
copy" message.
 
If we try to do an update, we get "attempted to lkock an already locked
dir."
 
The way we get into trouble is by deleting, copying or moving files in or
out of the folders in question.  We can appreciate how Eclispe may need to
be Refresh'ed when we do things "behind its back," but are amazed at how,
when we do something incredibly simple in "full view of Tortoise or
subclipse" that the latter sometimes goes into a left hand doesn't know what
the right hand is doing debacle.
 
In the past we've usually been able to hurl combinations of Refresh's,
Update's, Clean Up's and Resolve's to simply make the nuisance messages get
out of the way, but currently, we're locked up.
 
Whether this is a bug or not, it is certainly in our minds, brought on by
the simplest and commonest actions and therefore we feel SVN is, at best, a
fair tool that has some treacherous and time wasting pitfalls.  
 
Because we have experienced this same problem for over a year on several
different PC's and over several versions of Eclipse and several versions of
Tortoise and subclipse, we have to believe that the community at large
simply does not have this problem or denies it existence.
 
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
 
 

General: Recomendations for sourcing DBs

[Anastasios Angelidis <vo...@videotron.ca>]

Is anyone using svn to source the DB: Stored procs, tables, functions etc...

I was thinking of sourcing each individual element as it's own file...

Sps and functions are simple enough to source.

But how about tables? Tables can either be created or altered. Should I 
make the modification and rescript the whole table or should I just 
track the alter or both?

FWIW, errors like "path is not a working copy" imply that the .svn
subdirectory in a directory has been removed.  If that's the case
there isn't a lot you can do other than deleting that directory and
running 'svn update' to get it from the server again.

Can you tell us exactly what you are trying to do when you come across these
problems.  If you are modifying the structure of directories/renaming files
you need to make sure to do it using the tools.  Either by using tortoise to
rename them, or having subclipse rename them.  This way they will know what
the other is doing.  If you are just moving files using file system
commands, then neither will know what's going on.
