I added intends and colors to make it more readable. When connected to SQL Server, the output is as below. Liquibase has updateSQL option which prints instead of executing the generated script. For testing purposes, I have two databases: SQL Server and Oracle. For example, the below script creates a table and extends one column. Thanks to that, in many cases a developer can write one changeset using XML and Liquibase will take care of database differences. The Liquibase author did his best to make those tags as much database-independent as possible. Some examples and different options of customizing the script can be found below.Ĭhanging database structure or data can be done in this file using XML tags. When Liquibase applies changesets to a database, it recognizes what database engine it is connected to and uses this information to produce a proper SQL script that is valid in this particular case. The whole content of the file is wrapped by databaseChangeLog tag. An empty file (with no changesets) looks as below: Liquibase offers four formats of changelog files: XML, YAML, JSON, SQL. If portability to different database engines is important for you, you will probably appreciate XML format.

#UNIVERSAL DATABASE SCRIPT INSTALL#
Imagine an application for accounting that your customer can install with Oracle or SQL Server - when it requires high reliability and availability or even with a community version of MySQL - when the cost matters the most.ĭespite of the fact that SQL is not the same across different database engines, especially DDL statements, Liquibase can help achieving this. But there are people, who develop software that must be able to work with two or more. Writing to the file directly is a great improvement.A need of writing database-independent SQL scripts may seem abstract to developers that implement systems for only one database engine. Love the product! Y'all have done an amazing job!

An other great thing to consider is that SQL scripts can also constitute a backup file of your database. With SQL Script Builder once you have established your source ODBC connection and generated the script, you can be sure this script will work on the destination database because the scripts are universal. There's may be others tools that can migrate your database, without the use of SQL language, but these may not establish a successful connection between databases because of versions compatibility. ODBC is a universal interface, almost every database provider support it.
#UNIVERSAL DATABASE SCRIPT DRIVER#
There's no limits, all you need is the ODBC driver for the database you wish to migrate from.

You don't have to migrate all database, you can if you wish only migrate one table at a time. SQL Script Builder can be used for example for database migration from your Access database to MySql database, or MySql database migration to MS SQL database and vice versa. SQL Script Builder scripts can be used on your DBMS ( database management system) or uploaded on a server. SQL Script Builder is very simple to use, you just have to choose the database and the table from the list. Scripts are available in 5 output formats MySql, MS SQL, Oracle, Pervasive and PostgreSQL , and files comes in Access mdb, Excel csv, MS xml. The script produced will migrate the database (multiple tables selection) or only one table and the records.

Ever wanted a tool that can migrate any database? SQL Script Builder is powerful free software that can create a database migration sql script (or dump file) or database files from any ODBC supported database.
