placing database.yml to svn

rubyonrails-talk

Hi     I would like to know is there any serious problem if committing database.yml file to svn? What I am currently doing is committing database.yml.sample file to svn. So an extra step needed in each production setup(locally example I have not deployed originally) that I have to edit mv database.yml.sample to dtabase.yml Please share your thoughts

Thanks Tom

Hello,

I think it's just an unnecessary step to rename your db config everytime... There's no difference if its databse.yml or databse.yml.sample apart from that extra renaming step.

The only problem I see is that if you are working on a group, your database login will be exposed and you might annoy the other developer who had his/her own database.config

Actually, you may do as you do, except you should create database.yml file on the remote server and add it to ignore list at the SVN.
