Skeema is a tool for managing MySQL and MariaDB schema changes in a declarative fashion using pure SQL. The Skeema CLI tool allows you to:
- Export CREATE TABLE statements to the filesystem, for tracking in a repo (git, hg, svn, etc)
- Diff changes in the schema repo against live DBs to automatically generate DDL
- Manage multiple environments (e.g. dev, staging, prod) and keep them in sync with ease
- Configure use of online schema change tools, such as pt-online-schema-change, for performing ALTERs
- Apply configurable linter rules to proactively catch schema design problems and enforce company policies
Skeema supports a pull-request-based workflow for schema change submission, review, and execution. This permits your team to manage schema changes in exactly the same way as you manage code changes.
This repo is the free open source Community edition of the Skeema CLI. The Community edition supports management of tables and routines (procs/funcs). Builds are provided for Linux and MacOS.
The paid Premium edition of the Skeema CLI adds support for managing views and triggers, and also includes a native Windows build, among other improvements.
A companion SaaS product, Skeema Cloud Linter, is also available to simplify CI setup for schema repos stored on GitHub.
