Sqitch is a powerful database change management application designed to streamline the deployment and management of database changes across various environments. Unlike traditional migration tools, Sqitch allows for complete flexibility by supporting native scripting, dependency resolution, and iterative development without being tied to any specific framework or ORM.
Framework-agnostic: Works independently of any application framework or platform.
Native Scripting: Supports writing database changes in the native SQL dialect of the chosen database engine.
Dependency Resolution: Ensures that changes are applied in the correct order, regardless of commit sequence in version control.
Deployment Integrity: Utilizes a plan file to manage changes and dependencies, allowing for flexible naming conventions.
Iterative Development: Enables modifications to deployment scripts at any time before project completion, supporting test-driven development.
