NAME

migraine - DB schema MIGRAtor that takes headache out of the game

SYNOPSIS

$ migraine db-conn-live.yml
$ migraine -n db-conn-test.yml         # No act (a la Makefile)
$ migraine -m alternative-migrations-dir db-conn-devel.yml
$ migraine -V -v 5 db-conn-live.yml    # Verbose, migrate up to 5
$ migraine -o 8 db-conn-devel.yml      # Apply ONLY migration 8
$ migraine -f db-conn-test.yml         # Don't stop on missing migrations

DESCRIPTION

DB schema migrator inspired by Rails migrations. Allows developers to store changes to a DB schema in "migration" files, then run the migrator to get all the pending migrations for some DB executed. That allows for easy and automated upgrading of any database used for a given project. Executing migrations just up to a point (as opposed to "up to the latest version"), or applying single migrations (say, applying 4, even if 3 is still unapplied) is also supported.

There are two things migraine has to know to be able to update your database: first, which database should it connect to (given by the YAML configuration file in the migraine call); second, the list of available migrations (the files in a directory, by default migrations in the same directory as the YAML).

OPTIONS

-c db-conn.yml

Reads the configuration from db-conn.yml. This option is deprecated, and it's maintained just temporarily for compatibility with older versions of migraine. You should pass your configuration file as an argument, without the -c switch.

-f

"Force": don't stop executing migrations if there's one that doesn't exist or has a duplicated id.

-m /some/migrations/dir

Looks for migrations in the given /some/migrations/dir directory. The default is a directory called migrations at the same level as the given YAML file.

-n

Doesn't execute anything on the database ("no act", like Makefile)

-o mid

It applies only the given migration with id mid, regardless of which other migrations may be pending. It returns an error if the migration was already applied.

-u

Upgrades the migraine metadata in the target database, if needed. It will return an error if the migraine metadata is newer than migraine supports.

-v mid

Instead of trying to apply all available migrations, it only applies pending migrations up to the given migration id ("migration version") mid.

-V

Verbose mode. Give more information about what's going on, including showing the complete text of the migrations being applied.

DATABASE CONNECTION INFORMATION

It's stored in a YAML file (mandatory argument in migraine calls) which looks like this:

dsn: dbi:mysql:dbname=mydb;host=mydbserver;port=3307
user: dbuser
# password: s3kr3t

MIGRATIONS

The migration filenames must have the form number-some_name.extension. Numbers should start at 1, and none of them should be skipped or repeated. You can use leading zeros to get nice ASCII-betical order in directory listings.

In the only format currently supported, SQL, the extension must be sql, so the files will be named something like 8-add_some_table.sql or 008-update_obsolete_field.sql. The contents will be executed as-is, without any processing, so they should be valid SQL for the DB server you're using.
