Flyway is an open-source database-migration tool.
Concept
Flyway is based around seven basic commands: Migrate, Clean, Info, Validate, Undo, Baseline, and Repair.
Migrations can be written in SQL (database-specific syntax such as PL/SQL, T-SQL, etc is supported) or Java (for advanced data transformations or dealing with LOBs).
It has a command-line client, a Java API (also works on Android) for migrating the database on application startup, a Maven plugin, and a Gradle plugin.
Plugins are available for Spring Boot,{{Cite web|url=https://www.baeldung.com/database-migrations-with-flyway|title=Database migrations with flyway.|website=Baeldung|date=29 September 2016 |language=en|access-date=2020-02-13}} Dropwizard, Grails, Play, SBT, Ant, Griffon, Grunt, Ninja, and more.{{Cite web|url=https://flywaydb.org/documentation/plugins/|title=Flyway by Redgate • Community plugins.|website=Flyway by Redgate|language=en|access-date=2020-02-13}}
