Sane Database Change Management with Sqitch
SQL change management is hard. Most “migration”-style implementations
require opaque naming conventions, prefer DSLs that cover a fraction of
SQL, and require duplication of code for simple changes to existing
functions. Such does not have to be. And now it’s not
Introducing Sqitch, simple SQL change management that doesn’t suck.
Sqitch doesn’t care what programming language your app is written in. It
has no opinions as to what database to use or what its schema should
look like. And it doesn’t require sequentially-named migration scripts
or the use of any DSL other than SQL. Sqitch lets you to write SQL
migration scripts that target your database, and provides a simple,
unintrusive interface for specifying dependencies, so that it can run
things in the proper order.
So come to this talk to learn all about Sqitch: How it works, where to
get it, and how to get the most out of managing database deployments.
David Wheeler is Senior Data Architect at iovation and an associate at
PGExperts. He is responsible, among other things, for PGXN, pgTAP,
DesignScene, and way too many CPAN modules. He lives in Portland unless
he’s traveling with his family.
As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab.
