Build Status

A SQL database migration toolkit in Golang.

Supported databases

  • PostgreSQL
  • MariaDB
  • MySQL
  • Sqlite3

Usage

First import the package:

import "github.com/DavidHuie/gomigrate"

Given a database/sql database connection to a PostgreSQL database, db, and a directory to migration files, create a migrator:

migrator, _ := gomigrate.NewMigrator(db, gomigrate.Postgres{}, "./migrations")

To migrate the database, run:

err := migrator.Migrate()

To rollback the last migration, run:

err := migrator.Rollback()

Migration files

Migration files need to follow a standard format and must be present in the same directory. Given "up" and "down" steps for a migration, create a file for each by following this template:

{{ id }}_{{ name }}_{{ "up" or "down" }}.sql

For a given migration, the id and name fields must be the same. The id field is an integer that corresponds to the order in which the migration should run relative to the other migrations.

id should not be 0 as that value is used for internal validations.

Example

If I'm trying to add a "users" table to the database, I would create the following two files:

1_add_users_table_up.sql

CREATE TABLE users();

1_add_users_table_down.sql

DROP TABLE users;
