Name
sqitch-deploy - Deploy changes to a database
Synopsis
sqitch deploy [options] [<database>]
sqitch deploy [options] [<database>] <change>
sqitch deploy [options] [<database>] --to-change <change>
Description
Deploy changes to the database. Changes will begin from the current deployment
state. They will run to the latest change, unless a change is specified,
either via --to
or with no option flag, in which case changes will be
deployed up-to and including that change.
If the database it up-to-date or already deployed to the specified change, no changes will be made. If the change appears earlier in the plan than the currently-deployed state, an error will be returned, along with a suggestion to instead use sqitch-revert.
The <database>
parameter specifies the database to which to connect,
and may also be specified as the --target
option. It can be target name,
a URI, an engine name, or plan file path.
Options
-
-t
-
--target
The target database to which to connect. This option can be either a URI or the name of a target in the configuration.
-
--to-change
-
--change
-
--to
Specify the deployment change. Defaults to the last point in the plan. See sqitchchanges for the various ways in which changes can be specified.
-
--mode
Specify the reversion mode to use in case of deploy or verify failure. Possible values are:
-
all
In the event of failure, revert all deployed changes, back to the point at which deployment started. This is the default.
-
tag
In the event of failure, revert all deployed changes to the last successfully-applied tag. If no tags were applied during this deployment, all changes will be reverted to the point at which deployment began.
-
change
In the event of deploy failure, no changes will be reverted; for a verify failure, only the failed change will be reverted.
Note that Sqitch assumes that each change is atomic. Therefore, when a deploy script fails, it assumes there is nothing to revert. If a verify script fails, it will of course run the revert script for the failed change.
-
-
--verify
Verify each change by running its verify script, if there is one. If a verify test fails, the deploy will be considered to have failed and the appropriate reversion will be carried out, depending on the value of
--mode
. -
--no-verify
Don’t verify each change. This is the default.
-
-s
-
--set
Set a variable name and value for use by the database engine client, if it supports variables. The format must be
name=value
, e.g.,--set defuser='Homer Simpson'
. Overrides any values loaded from “configuration Variables”. -
--log-only
Log the changes as if they were deployed, but without actually running the deploy scripts. Useful for an existing database that is being converted to Sqitch, and you need to log changes as deployed because they have been deployed by other means in the past.
-
--lock-timeout
sqitch deploy --lock-timeout 600
Set the number of seconds for Sqitch to wait to get an exclusive advisory lock on the target database, for engines that support such a lock. This lock prevents other instances of Sqitch from working on the target at the same time, but prevents no other database activity. Defaults to 60.
-
--registry
sqitch deploy --registry registry
The name of the Sqitch registry schema or database in which sqitch stores its own data.
-
--db-client
-
--client
sqitch deploy --client /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql
Path to the command-line client for the database engine. Defaults to a client in the current path named appropriately for the database engine.
-
-d
-
--db-name
sqitch deploy --db-name widgets sqitch deploy -d bricolage
Name of the database. In general, targets and URIs are preferred, but this option can be used to override the database name in a target.
-
-u
-
--db-user
-
--db-username
sqitch deploy --db-username root sqitch deploy --db-user postgres sqitch deploy -u Mom
User name to use when connecting to the database. Does not apply to all engines. In general, targets and URIs are preferred, but this option can be used to override the user name in a target.
-
-h
-
--db-host
sqitch deploy --db-host db.example.com sqitch deploy -h appdb.example.net
Host name to use when connecting to the database. Does not apply to all engines. In general, targets and URIs are preferred, but this option can be used to override the host name in a target.
-
-p
-
--db-port
sqitch deploy --db-port 7654 sqitch deploy -p 5431
Port number to connect to. Does not apply to all engines. In general, targets and URIs are preferred, but this option can be used to override the port in a target.
-
--plan-file
-
-f
sqitch deploy --plan-file my.plan
Path to the deployment plan file. Overrides target, engine, and core configuration values. Defaults to
$top_dir/sqitch.plan
.
Configuration Variables
-
deploy.mode
Deploy mode. The supported values are the same as for the
--mode
option. -
deploy.verify
Boolean indicating whether or not to verify each change.
-
[deploy.variables]
A section defining database client variables. Useful if your database engine supports variables in scripts, such as PostgreSQL’s
psql
variables, Vertica’svsql
variables MySQL’s user variables, SQL*Plus’sDEFINE
variables, and Snowflake’s SnowSQL variables.May be overridden by
--set
or target and engine configuration. Variables are merged in the following priority order:--set
target.$target.variables
engine.$engine.variables
deploy.variables
core.variables
