Guillaume, Happy to compare with HP Service Manager: the product uses a script based approach whilst also providing users with a UI.
Locking/reserving objects isn't source control: it's visual source safe, circa 1995. VSS has since died. I made a very simple, obvious suggestion: storing the schema as a script not a bespoke table, would vastly improve the platform. I've given you a long list of benefits, and others have too (Jose provides a super example). None of them change the way AR System works or the way in which anyone interacts with it.
