README

This is a clone of DBDeploy for PHP using Doctrine DBAL as database abstraction.

It supports only a limited set of functionality of the original Java based tool, but enough for one particular workflow to function perfectly.

Why? This is extracted from a testsuite where it was used for setting up the schema of the testing database. It is also much easier to setup than DBDeploy.

Workflow Assumptions

• Only .sql file based migrations, format <number>_<name>.sql
• Requires using backwards-compatible database changes, no support undo/down migrations. Especially
  • Avoid dropping stuff
  • Added column must either allow NULL or have a default value
• Orders migrations (natural sort) using number prefixes in files. Use YYmmddHHii_<name>.sql format to allow branching without conflicts.
• Single database vendor per directory, use multiple for apps with different vendor support.
• Creates table changelog that contains current state of already applied migrations.

API

The API just has one method: migrate():

<?php

use Doctrine\DBAL\DriverManager;
use DBDeployPHP\DBDeploy;

$dbDeploy = new DBDeploy($connection, $schemaDirectory);
$appliedMigrations = $dbDeploy->migrate();

CLI

You need environment variable DATABASE_URL present with the format: mysql://user:password@host/dbname:

$ php vendor/bin/dbdeploy-migrate.php src/schema

Limitations

Currently only works with MySQL.
