schema-evolve 0.4.0

A schema diff tool.

Schema Evolve

This is a schema evolution tool (currently only for sqlite). It will diff schema changes between two databases or .sql files, and optionally apply them.

Why?

I mean, Sqlite3 has sqldiff --schema right? Well, given...

$ sqlite3 schema1.db "select sql from sqlite_schema"
CREATE TABLE tbl (
  a text
)
$ sqlite3 schema2.db "select sql from sqlite_schema"
CREATE TABLE tbl (
  a text
, b text
)

This works: 👏

$ sqldiff --schema schema1.db schema2.db 
ALTER TABLE tbl ADD COLUMN b;

But this is why I have trust issues... 🤯🤬

$ sqldiff --schema schema2.db schema1.db 
DROP TABLE tbl; -- due to schema mismatch
CREATE TABLE tbl (
  a text
);

Install

$ pip install schema-evolve

Usage

$ python -m schema_evolve data/schema1.db data/schema2.sql --apply
Existing Database: data/schema1.db (to modify)
Target Schema: data/schema2.sql
Calculated Changes:
  ALTER TABLE "tbl" ADD COLUMN b text;
Apply changes? (y/n) y
Starting Test Run: /tmp/tmpdr5vopek/test.db
  ALTER TABLE "tbl" ADD COLUMN b text;
Success!
Starting Actual Run: data/schema1.db
  in: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 
  ALTER TABLE "tbl" ADD COLUMN b text;
Success!

Renaming

To rename a column, add a special comment on the same line specifying the old name. Example:

CREATE TABLE users (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  ip_address TEXT, -- AKA[ip]
)

This would rename the column ip to ip_address.

For tables:

CREATE TABLE clients ( -- AKA[users]
  id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  name TEXT
)

This would rename the users table to clients.
