[aerogear-dev] database migration

Hi, Now that we have 2 versions out of the door, when we change stuff we need an easy upgrade path. Not only for the API but also for the database. Because we support a couple of them having something of a process would help. I’ve have used liquibase in the past. You write ‘change sets’ in yaml, json or if you must in xml, it will create a migration table in the database and execute the changes needed to bring it up to date or you can create a sql script that will do the same. Cool thing about this approach is that it’s independent of the database http://www.liquibase.org Another tool I’ve heard about, but also promising is Flyway. It’s supports writing migrations in sql and java comes with it’s own java api. Basically the same idea with regards to this migration table, but here you need to specify your own sql scripts. Or you can write migrations in java where having special named java class gets executed to update/migrate the data. http://flywaydb.org WDYT? Cheers, Erik Jan
