Pg-migrate NPM

pg-migrate

Files in the specified directory are run in sequential order. Each filename has to start with a number and end with .sql. You can use any number of leading zeroes.

Example directory

001-initial.sql
002-something else.sql
003.sql
004.sql

The script will write a file migrations.json in the directory to keep track of which migration scripts have already been run:

{
    "localhost/pgm": {
        "current": 3
    }
}

The host and pathname portions of the database url are used to identify each database.

Install

npm install -g pg-migrate

Usage

Run PostgreSQL migration scripts.
Usage: pg-migrate -u postgres://postgres@localhost/mydb

Options:
  -u, --url    database url  [required]
  -f, --from   from index    [default: 0]
  -t, --to     to index      [default: 1000]
  -d, --input  directory     [default: cwd]

When -f is omitted, it will default to the current number from the migrations.json file. If there is no state stored for the server, -f will default to 0.

Bugs/limitations

Each migration script is run in a separate transaction. If a migration fails, the migration scripts that were run before are not aborted.

The specified directory is not traversed recursively. A recursive option would make this script more useful for a project with hundreds migrations, where it's impractical to store them all in one directory.
