I need to keep my project budget as low as feasible given the current economic problems. When it came to deciding which tool I would use for database schema migrations, I determined that it would be preferable to spend some time looking for a program I had never heard of rather than spending $2000 immediately.
The importing data capability is a significant addition to the standard functionality, as publishing data after creating a database schema is a regular process during the first application deployment.
I've had some thoughts for leveraging my project code in microservices, and it'll be nice to have a way to do simultaneous schema and data modifications.
Such a helpful tool, in my opinion, should be an undependable and simple-to-deploy piece of software.
My necessary feature list is a collection of chores I've completed on a regular basis when fixing bugs and adding new features to my database-driven projects.
Lucky to find this
new software for PostgreSQL database schema migration that has all the features I need and cost less than the competitors. Rumba supports the popular plain-SQL
migration scripts versioning at full scale.
My ConcernsAt least three environments are involved in the current software development cycle: development, testing, and production. So, I'd like to automate the propagation of schema changes across several environments while also keeping track of modification history.
Modern SQL creation from some form of hierarchical description does not cover every scenario for database schema transfer in many circumstances.
Plain SQL scripts must still be used in these situations.
However, having a SQL automated generation feature is particularly useful for describing a large portion of a schema in one location.
This could be a rough draft of a database structure that is rapidly changing, or it could be a schema migration from one location to another.
Having such a feature supported is preferable to having a single plain-SQL method.
This type of software can be quite costly; licenses for the most popular tool start at $2000 and go up to $3000.
The entire cost of subscription-based pricing might be significantly greater than standard pricing structures.
When you buy a software package as a subscription, you usually get the most recent version of the product as well as any updates that are issued while your subscription is valid. Hmm, a new method of running SQL scripts within the same database engine? I dislike the database and client tools since they may change their behavior in the future. As a result, the claim that I would always have the most recent version of the product does not convince me.
And the most well-known tools: Liqubase and Flyway, are bloated with unnecessary features. They also have a huge list of supported database engines that I will never use. It seems like every time I’ll use one of them, I’ll find another feature that I don't need and never use. I understand that it is trying to be an all-in-one solution, but it really doesn't need to be.
