Redscope

Redscope is a database migration and introspection tool, designed to help manage your instance of Amazon Redshift. All migrations are written in plain SQL, in .sql files, with no fancy tricks or dependencies on ORM frameworks.

Migration files are timestamp tracked, to eliminate the possibility of a migration key duplication.

Getting Started

Install

Redscope can be installed by using pip.

pip install redscope

New Project

Once Redscope is installed, create a new project.

redscope init project

This will create the directories where your migrations, ddl, and log files will live. The redscope.log file is used to record every command executed in redscope.

database
    ddl
    logs
        redscope.log
    migrations

Environments

By default, Redscope will look for a .env file in the root directory of your project, and will load the connection string in REDSCOPE_DB_URL as an environment variable.

Init Database

Once a connection string has been provided in a .env file, the tables to keep track of applied migrations must be created. Running the below command will create a schema and table redscope.migrations.

redscope init db

Creating Migrations

To create a new migration run the below command, where name-of-my-migration is the name you want for your migration. This will create a directory in the migrations directory which will contain 2 files up.sql and down.sql

redscope new migration --name name-of-my-migration

In up.sql, place the SQL commands you want to execute against the database to bring the data base up to the newest state. In down.sql, place the SQL commands to run, to undo the changes made to the database when the up.sql file was executed.

Running Migrations

To execute all un-applied migrations

redscope migrate up

This will apply all the local migration files, against the target database.

To revert the changes

redscope migrate down

Custom Environments

In larger projects, perhaps it is possible to have several .env files and connections to databases which code in your cool project uses to perform some database operation. redscope allows using custom .env files, and custom environment variables. Redscope will however expect that this file lives in the root directory of your project.

To load a custom .env file, but use the default REDSCOPE_DB_URL pass the optional --env-file parameter.

redscope migrate up --env-file dev.env

To load the default .env file, however use a custom environment variable

redscope migrate up --env-var MY_OTHER_DB_CONN_STRING

To load both a custom file, and custom var

redscope migrate up --env-file dev.env --env-var MY_OTHER_DB_CONN_STRING

This makes it possible to connect redscope to several databases in a single project.

To load a custom environment, eg my_cool_file.env simply pass the file name
