PhpDbMigration – full PHP database migration tool

This is a full standalone PHP tool based on Symfony Console
and inspired by the Rails database migration tool and MyBatis. It merges the functionality of the two tools and
has been designed to be as flexible as possible.

  migrate:status  Display the current status of the specified environment
  migrate:up      Execute all waiting migration up to [to] option if precised

Installing it to your project

Just add it to your composer.json (don’t forget to specify your bin directory)
Warning, all migrate commands must be executed on your root folder like bin/migrate migrate:command...

{
    "name": "jdoe/testproject",
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "Jhon DOE",
            "email": "jdoe@gmail.com"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "php-database-migration/php-database-migration" :"3.6.*"
    },
    "config": {
        "bin-dir": "bin"
    }
}

Adding an environment

The first thing to do before playing with SQL migrations is to add an environment, let’s add the dev one.

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:addenv

You will be prompted to answer a series of questions about your environment, and then a config file will be saved
in ./.php-database-migration/environments/[env].yml.

Initialization

Once the environment is added, you have to initialize it. This verifies that the database connection works, and
creates a new database table for tracking the current database changes:

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:init [env]

Create a migration

It is time to create our first migration file.

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:create

Migrations file are like this

-- // add table users
-- Migration SQL that makes the change goes here.
create table users (id integer, name text);
-- @UNDO
-- SQL to undo the change goes here.
drop table users;

List migrations

View all available migrations and their status.

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:status [env]
+----------------+---------+------------------+--------------------+
| id             | version | applied at       | description        |
+----------------+---------+------------------+--------------------+
| 14679010838251 |         |                  | create table users |
+----------------+---------+------------------+--------------------+

Up and down

You can now up all the pending migrations. If you decide to down a migration, the last one will be downed alone to
prevent mistakes. You will be asked to confirm the downgrade of your database before running the real SQL script.

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:up [env]

You can mark migrations as applied without executing SQL (e.g. if you switched from another migration system)

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:up [env] --changelog-only

For development purposes, it is also possible to up a single migration without taking care of the other ones:

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:up [env] --only=[migrationid]

or migrate to specific migration (it will run all migrations, including the specified migration)

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:up [env] --to=[migrationid]

Same thing for down:

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:down [env] --only=[migrationid]

or

$ ./bin/migrate migrate:down [env] --to=[migrationid]
