Overall Satisfaction with Liquibase

As database administrator and consultant, Liquibase is a great tool. It frees up DBA time to manually sync database schema between DEV, TEST and PROD environments. By doing schema comparison programally, it gives me the peace of mind that all database objects are identical between different environments. We could also delegate the task to operation team.
  • Implement Database Schema changes in different environments
  • Detect Database Schema drift between different environments
  • Sync Database Schema between different environments
  • It would be great if it can compare schema between different DBMS engines
  • The document can provides more samples
  • The xml format is not easy to understand
  • It saves a lot of DBA time and headcount
  • Less inconsistency between DB environment
  • Operation team can perform database release
It provides overall positive experience in database administration group. Fits well with DevOps best practices.
