README

The dbvc commandline tool allows you to manage your database schema updates in your version control (git) repository.

Configuration

DBVC looks for the dbvc.json configuration file.

{
  "db": {
    "driver": "mysql",
    "host": "localhost",
    "username": "root",
    "password": "open",
    "dbname": "foobar"
  },
  "datadir": "dev",
  "vcs": "none"
}

If datadir is omitted, it defaults to "dev". If vcs is omitted, the vcs is automatically determined.

Supported database interfaces

• mysql

You may issue a feature request to support other DBMSs.

Supported version control systems

• git
• none

You may issue a feature request to support other VCSs.

When using git, the correct order of the updates is automatically found by examining the git log.

When selecting vcs 'none', updates are run in natural order. It's up to you to prefix the update files with (for instance) a date, to make sure that run in the correct order
