Cons	Liquibase Reducing Compatibility issues, when we upgraded Liquibase from 4.2 to 4.9. The same changeset which we were able to run on successfully using 4.2, part of it was now failing when tried to deploy using 4.9 We are not able to see detailed logs (for different changes) in uDeploy when deploying changes through Liquibase Liquibase should rollback the if any one of the changes fails.

Return on Investment	Liquibase We need to re-educate developers to use Liquibase. In some cases, it is hard to align when several teams work on the same DB.
