Database Change Management

You never develop code without version control, why do you develop your database without it?

Liquibase is an open source (Apache 2.0 Licensed), database-independent library for tracking, managing and applying database changes. It is built on a simple premise: All database changes are stored in a human readable yet trackable form and checked into source control.

Liquibase Supports:

• Extensibility
• Merging changes from multiple developers
• Code branches
• Multiple Databases
• Managing production data as well as various test datasets
• Cluster-safe database upgrades
• Automated updates or generation of SQL scripts that can be approved and applied by a DBA
• Update rollbacks
• Database ”diff“s
• Generating starting change logs from existing databases
• Generating database change documentation
