Configuration

Pyway environment variables and command line options

Priority is env variables -> config file -> command args

Env Variable	Command Line	Description	Default

PYWAY_SQL_MIGRATION_PREFIX		Prefix for version in migration file	V
PYWAY_SQL_MIGRATION_SEPARATOR		Separator between version and description to the migration file	__
PYWAY_SQL_MIGRATION_SUFFIXES		Suffix extension for migration files	.sql
PYWAY_TABLE	--database-table	Name of schema history table	None
PYWAY_TYPE	--database-type	Data Base Management System [postgres, mysql, duckdb, sqlite ]	None required
PYWAY_DATABASE_HOST	--database-host	Host to connect to the database	None
PYWAY_DATABASE_PORT	--database-port	Port to connect to the database	None
PYWAY_DATABASE_NAME	--database-name	Name of database to connect	None
PYWAY_DATABASE_USERNAME	--database-username	User to use to connect to the database	None
PYWAY_DATABASE_PASSWORD	--database-password	Password to use to connect to the database	None
PYWAY_CONFIG_FILE	-c, --config	Configuration file	.pyway.conf
	--schema-file	Used when importing a schema file
	--checksum-file	Used when updating a checksum - advanced use!

Configuration file

Pyway supports a configuration file with the default file as .pyway.conf. A sample config file is below:

Postgres:

database_type: postgres
database_username: postgres
database_password: 123456
database_host: localhost
database_port: 5432
database_name: postgres
database_migration_dir: schema
database_table: public.pyway

MySQL:

database_type: mysql
database_username: admin
database_password: 123456
database_host: localhost
database_port: 3306
database_name: maindb
database_migration_dir: schema
database_table: pyway

Pyway Files

Files are raw SQL files that are named like the following. Major/minor versioning and semantic versioning is supported.

V{major}_{minor}_({patch})__{description}.sql

Example: V01_01__initial_schema.sql

Example: V01_01_01__initial_schema.sql

The description needs to match the word regexp [A-Za-z0-9_]. It also supports 2 digits per version component, so 99.99.99 is the maximum version allowed.

Usage

Info

Information lets you know where you are. At first glance, you will see which migrations have already been applied, which others are still pending, and whether there is a discrepancy between the checksum of the local file and the database schema table.

$ pyway info

Validate

Validate helps you verify that the migrations applied to the database match the ones available locally. This compares the checksums to validate that what is in the migration on disk is what was committed into the database.

$ pyway validate

Migrate

After validate, it will scan the Database migration dir for available migrations. It will compare them to the migrations that have been applied to the database. If any new migration is found, it will migrate the database to close the gap.

$ pyway migrate

Import

This allows the user to import a schema file into the migration, for example if the base schema has already been applied, then the user can import that file in so they can then apply subsequent migrations. Currently the import looks in the database_migration_dir for the file.

$ pyway import --schema-file V01_01__initial_schema.sql

Checksum

Updates a checksum in the database. This is for advanced use only, as it could put the pyway database out of sync with reality. This is mainly to be used for development, where your pyway file may change because of manual applies or formatting changes. It is meant to get the database in sync with what you believe to be the current state of your system. It should NEVER be used in production, only initial development. If you require schema changes in production, create a new schema and apply that.

$ pyway checksum --checksum-file V01_01__initial_schema.sql
