Often, former versions need to stay available, so database developers find themselves maintaining co-existing schema versions of multiple applications in multiple versions—usually with handwritten delta code—which is highly error-prone and explains significant costs in software projects. We showcase I V D , a tool using the richer semantics of a bidirectional database evolution language to generate all the delta code automatically, easily providing co-existing schema versions within one database. I V D automatically decides on an optimized physical database schema serving all schema versions to transparently optimize the performance for the current workload.enDatabase evolutionDatabase versioningCo-existing schema versionsInVerDa – The Liquid DatabaseText/Conference Paper1617-5468
