Migration library for Clickhouse

Clickhouse Migrator

Clickhouse is known for its scale to store and fetch large datasets.

Development and Maintenance of large-scale db systems many times requires constant changes to the actual DB system. Holding off the scripts to migrate these will be painful.

We found there is nothing existing earlier and developed one inspired by, Flyway, Alembic

This is a python library, which you can execute as a pre-hook using sys python. Or as a migration framework before deployment/server-startup in your application as required.

migrate(db_name, migrations_home, db_host, db_user, db_password, create_db_if_no_exists)

Folder and Migration file patterns

The filenames are pretty similar to how flyway keeps it.

Your first version filename should be prefixed with V1__ (double underscore) These migrations are executed one by one, failures in between will stop and not further version files will be executed.
