The answer I received more than once from Oracle evangelists regarding transactional DDL: it's useless and if you need it, you are not testing your scripts properly

Transactional DDL is, IMHO, the best way to write database tests! I've been really happy with database testing since I built and started using a library that runs DDL and uses savepoints without ever committing a transaction.

Is that also their response for static typing and constraints on database :) ?

Tech evangelist is a common job title.

I thought X evangelism is when you aren't paid, like with open source. If you are paid you're just a salesman.

I've seen 'Developer evangelist' as a job title.
