I don't agree with a lot of the things said in the article. For one, stored procedures are not just files, they are a part of your DB schema. Your SQL code (whether PL/SQL, or T-SQL, or whatever) is actually executable code that modifies that schema. The schema also includes tables, types, functions and so on. If you want to do meaningful version control for your DB, you need to do version control for all of those things too. It's not impossible, but it is very difficult, because databases also have data. If you want to add a row to your table, for example. you can't just change the code you used to create it. Instead, you need to write new code that modifies the existing schema by adding columns.
