Liquibase – Open Source version control for your database

It is generally accepted that you should always use proper version control when developing software. Shouldn’t you do the same with your database changes? Especially as part of a DevOps strategy. Evolving your database Schema using SQL scripts gets complex fast. In this talk Blaine will discuss using a schema migration tool called Liquibase; a database independent, open source tool for managing database changes. Blaine will demonstrate some of the major features of Liquibase including how to extract your current schema into Liquibase, make changes and roll them back. You will come away from this session with a better understanding of Liquibase specifically and the value of using a schema migration tool as part your CI/CD strategy.
