Rapid computing environment, change of the application structure, and various user demand will increase the demand of the software development. Version control is helpful to improve productivity using delta, and useful to establish component from existing data of source code. This paper presents the design and implementation of the version control system. which is composed of retrieval system and delta management system. In retrieval system, vanous retrieve methods arc proposed. This methods provides the process methodology with filename, content, size and date. Various retrieve methods arc important for the effective delta management. Meta data can be easily composed for the delta management by these methods. Compared with other systems, this implemented version control system has some advantage. First, for delta management, version maintenance for delta management becomes easier by integrating the forward and back-ward methods. Second, delta managent part of a project is to unite the forward and backward method. the effieiency of this system is to increased in management. Also, this system supports a thechnique of using the database and files for project repository and makes the version management more effective.
