dbdeploy 0.9.8

[!CAUTION] The tool is in early stage of development. Use with caution. Constructive feedback is welcome.

dbdeploy

dbdeploy is a cli tool to deploy and rollback single or multiple databases changes during all phases of development from the local developer machine to production.

Install

dotnet tool install --global dbdeploy

Deploy

dbdeploy deploy --path examples/examples01 --branch release/1.1

Rollback

dbdeploy rollback --path examples/examples01 --branch release/1.1

Deploy during Development/CI

This command will create databases (if they don't already exits) and deploy both .Deploy.sql scripts and .Test.sql scripts

dbdeploy deploy --path examples/examples01 --branch release/1.1 --create --test

Files structure

The files structure and content is designed to play nice with source control systems like git. For example scripts are not numbered sequentially but have unique names. In this way two developers working on different branches will not have clashing numbers when they will merge their respective feature branches but at worst, if working on the same release, will have to deal with merging changes on a csv file which contains the ordered sequence of scripts that needs deploying.
The tools supports both deploy and rollback scripts along with test scripts that can be used to load test data both during development or for your integration tests.

dbsettings.json

This file contains the lists of databases connection strings and settings for the tool to be able to connect to apply the changes. You can have multiple settings files, one for each environment.

{
  "global": {
    "defaultProvider": "sqlServer"
  },
  "databases":{
    "Database01": {
      "connectionString": "..."
    },
    "Database02": {
      "connectionString": "...",
      "provider": "mysql"
    }
  }
}

main.csv

This file contains the list of scripts that are deployed to production. After each successful release, developers should move the list of deployed scripts to this file. It is recommended for this file name to match your main branch name (if any).

Database01,_Init
Database02,_Init

release_1.1.csv

This is a sample release file. This contains the list of the files to deploy for a sample release. The sequence implicitly include the scripts from main.csv. It is recommended for this file name to match your release branch name (if any) where the '/' is replaced with a '_'

Database01,TKT-001.SampleDescription

release_1.2.csv

This is a sample release file. This contains the list of the files to deploy for a sample release. The sequence explicitly includes scripts from release_1.1 and implicitly include the scripts from main.csv It is recommended for this file name to match your release branch name (if any) where the '/' is replaced with a '_'
