Product Details
What is Liquibase?
Liquibase is a database schema change automation tool that helps teams release software faster and safer by bringing the database change process into existing CI/CD automation. According to the 2021 Accelerate State of DevOps Report, elite performers are 3.4 times more likely to incorporate database change management into their process than low performers. Liquibase delivers DevOps for the database.
Liquibase value proposition:
Liquibase speeds up the development process. The vendor states that teams that use Liquibase deploy 233% more often. Liquibase helps teams break through the database bottleneck of manual reviews to get features to customers faster.
Liquibase aims to eliminate database code errors, boasting a 94% reduction in errors. Liquibase allows teams to fully test and roll back database changes before they get to production.
Liquibase empowers teams to collaborate. By treating database code like application code, Liquibase is designed to make it easier for app developers to work with the database team leveraging the same tools that they’re already comfortable with.
No one enjoys missing date night or a dance recital because the database deployment failed. Many teams rely on DBAs and database developers to fix issues and manually review code 24/7. Liquibase helps automate tedious manual, error-prone processes so that the database team can focus on more important tasks.

Best database version tool
We are managing the version of the database and creating release acc to maintain the version. And also deploying with that managed database and default data. We are also creating testing automation with help of liquids. Liquibase helps us to maintain default data as well as shema of the database. Nice to use this tool.
- Manage version
- Manage default data
- Help in creating testing environment
- Need to improve in maintaining Store procedure

Liquibase
We have no tool to manage database schemas. We are looking for an efficient tool that could be used on existing DB2 databases and future postgres databases. The tool needs to be able to start with the existing structure and help us to manage future changes to the databases. An optional use case would be to help developers to mount tests databases with Docker.
- Changelog of existing database
- easy updates
- safety with checksums
- rollbacks
- Documentation is not always easy to find, for example on tags or rollback definitions in SQL format
- Weird behaviour if sql file has not the first comment line

My review on Liquibase!
In our company, we primarily use Liquibase to package SQL code that implements a database change request. We use Liquibase for automating the database change process and deploying database code. It has very good tracking and deploying systems. It is very useful to our company. It is one of the best software we use.
- Database change process.
- Deploying.
- Automating tracking.
- Speed of automating.
- Data storage.
We are currently using the Liquibase solution to modernize one of our internal Data Platforms. In conjunction with modern tools such as GIT and Bamboo, we are able to provide a framework for GitOps operations to our data analyst team. The Liquibase framework is a cornerstone for managing automatic SQL code delivery to our test and live environment. The usage of Liquibase SQL native definition comes quite handy as our existing SQL repository file was already in SQL native format: adding the Liquibase metadata did not break the pace of the team delivery (no need to rewrite our SQL to XML/YAML or another format). Recent Liquibase Docker images creation is also a nice improvement as it allows us to easily interface with our CI/CD pipeline (Bamboo agents).
- SQL code development & deployment
- Managing SQL database
- Multiple DB engines support
- More options for SQL format (not all features are available compared to XML format)

Liquibase Review
I use Liquibase to automate database deployment for my application. Currently, the deployment for DB is done manually and there is no audit for any DB changes being executed. Liquibase solved both issues. It automates the deployment using Jenkins and provides vast resources to manage the deployment. it also supports automated rollback by means of tags
- Automate DB Deployment
- Rollback DB changes
- Audit and Security features
- Native support for Jenkins
- Native support for Pega Deployment manager

Liquibase for Oracle DBA
Using the Liquibase tool for one of our clients. It is being used for the deployment & version control in the oracle database. Liquibase has been integrated into our CICD pipeline which provides the ability to have automated DB deployment without DBAs intervention. The earlier deployment process was manual and error-prone as many pre-steps needed to perform before executing the SQL scripts in the DB. Using Liquibase we are controlling the deployment & version cross all non-prod and prod DBs.
- Versioning
- Preventing the duplicate SQL script execution
- Easy implementation and usage
- More comprensive documentation
- Liquibase & Oracle database integration - There are some limitations that need to be improved.
- liquibase advaced tutorials for DBAs & DevOps people

Liquibase an automated database administrator
Liquibase is a great open-source tool that helps to reduce manual work and make this easier when you deploy a database or make changes in it. we have used Liquibase open source and use the command line to operate it. the purpose of using Liquibase create a middleware between database and team and avoid direct exposure.
- capture existing database schema
- executing database changes at ease.
- configure with almost all dbs.
- make configuration more use - friendly way so that easy to do.
- give other options too for deployments.
- improvement in open source version.

Liquibase :- If you are not using it, You are missing a big feature
We use Liquibase to automate our database deployment in our product offering stack. Before Liquibase this job was done by DBAs to execute scripts on different environments manually which involves human error and delay in getting work done.
- Automation of execution of database scripts
- Maintain rollbacks which make it easier in case of any need in rollback
- Database independent scripts makes it more re-usable
- Pre-bundle scripts with Gradle, ant with specific target already written
- A fancy GUI to generate reports on current state of database
- A GUI/other ways to generate database level reports like ER diagram

Liquibase is good but needs major enhancement to capture market
We are using it for DB Automation solution to promote DB changes on the fly. This product helps in CI-CD workflow for DB changes.
- Script build and deployment
- Compare script reports
- Error handling but can be improved
- DB versions supported
- the build has a very tedious process - taking backup and restoring for every script to be processed
- Error handling, many errors are left unmanaged due to which finding the root cause of the issue is difficult
- HTML reports can be optimized for low space
- Permissions management i.e. in case of the build is failing, permissions can be checked beforehand. rather than failing in process execution.
- Project creation from TSV files makes it complicated

Solid building block for each Java-based business information system
There was a need to introduce structured database management instead of having a bunch of SQL scripts. Furthermore, development lacked a quick and reliable way of creating test databases with predefined schema and data to execute several automated tests.
- Create or migrate to a defined database schema in a controlled fashion
- Integrates well with Spring and Maven
- Supports both "code first" and "database first" approaches
- In some cases, differences between RDBMS products leak through the abstraction layer
- Running schema update on application startup increases administration complexity (DB user with augmented rights needs to be configured within the application)
- Documentation is exhaustive, but sometimes is lacking helpful examples
