dbpm docs

dbpm is the Oracle database package manager for repeatable database package deployment.

Install / lock workflow

dbpm uses a lock-first workflow to make database package installs repeatable and auditable.

• Install: resolve dependencies and deploy packages.
• Lock: capture exact package versions and artifact references.
• Resolve: use the registry to map package names and versions to metadata.
• Verify: confirm that deployed packages match locked state.

Package authoring

Create package manifests with metadata, required database objects, and installation scripts for reproducible delivery.

• Treat packages as deployable units with clear inputs and outputs.
• Include dependency constraints and compatibility information.
• Use lock files to avoid drift between environments.

Registry service role

The registry is the metadata service, not the package runtime.

• Registry hosts package metadata and search endpoints.
• dbpm uses registry responses to resolve package identities.
• Package artifacts are deployed by dbpm itself.

The canonical registry API endpoint is https://registry.dbpm.io.
