5.14.0.0 - March 15 2022

Breaking Changes

Flyway Desktop now encrypts SQL Server connections by default when invoking Flyway

For SQL Server users, connections are now set to be encrypted by default.

This will break existing stored SQL Server connections if they rely on encryption being off (the previous default). Flyway Desktop will show an error when attempting to call Flyway that will normally mention a failure to find a valid certificate.

Either one of the following actions can remedy this: * Delete the flyway-dev.user.json file in your project. Flyway Desktop will prompt you for new connection details. * OR * Open flyway-dev.user.json, and manually edit the following properties, appending either ;encrypt=false or ;trustServerCertificate=true, taking into account that this potentially affects the security of your database connections. * .developmentDatabase.connectionProvider.url * .shadowDatabase.connectionProvider.url

1.4.3214 - November 20 2019

New Features

We’ve introduced a new experimental “scripts source” mode which may reduce how often a shadow database is required.

The scripts source acts as an alternative to the development database and is a directory on disk that contains the SQL script files that represent your database. These scripts can be generated and maintained using Source Control for Oracle and can also be source-controlled.

When in this mode, Redgate Change Control will help you generate migrations scripts from changes that have been pushed to your scripts folder rather than directly from changes made to your database. Depending on your setup, this might mean that fewer people ever need to have access to a shadow database.

Additionally, the shadow database will need to be accessed only to generate migration scripts - you can make changes to your database, save them and source-control without any need for a shadow.

How to use:

To enable this mode in a project, remove or comment out the flyway.url setting and specify redgate.experimental.scriptsSource=<path to scripts folder>.

Once enabled, use Source Control for Oracle to manage the scripts folder while making changes to your database. You can then use Redgate Change Control to generate migration scripts from the scripts folder.

It is worth noting that at this stage, this mode cannot be used in conjunction with the experimental “Single Schema” mode introduced in the previous release. We anticipate that these two modes will likely work together in a future release.

Improvements

  • Improved validation messages when loading projects
  • Added a help widget explaining programmable objects
  • The app now shows a validation error and prevents new scripts from being generated if flyway detects a validation problem (eg applied scripts not resolved in project files)

1.3.3074 - November 11 2019

New Features

We’ve introduced a new experimental “single schema” mode which may replace the need for a separate shadow database in some cases:

As the name suggests, this mode only works when the flyway project covers a single schema. A second schema is required to act as the shadow when generating migration scripts. To enable this mode in a project, remove or comment out the redgate.shadowUrl setting and specify redgate.experimental.shadowSchema=<second schema>:

flyway.schemas=HR
redgate.experimental.shadowSchema=HR_SHADOW

There are a couple of caveats when writing migration scripts in this mode:

  • Any references to objects in the managed schema must not be schema-qualified. Since the migration scripts will run against different schemas with different names, managed objects must always be created in the current default schema.
  • Any references to objects in other schemas must still be schema-qualified. You’ll be responsible for making sure any dependencies of the managed schema are present in the database as appropriate.

For example:

CREATE TABLE log (
    message VARCHAR2(50),
    timestamp INTEGER
);

-- this object references log in the same schema, so log must not be schema-qualified
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER SetTimestampForLog BEFORE INSERT ON log
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
    v_today DATE;
BEGIN
    SELECT CURRENT_DATE INTO v_today FROM DUAL;

    -- date2epoch is in a different schema, so must be schema-qualified
    :new.timestamp := util.date2epoch(v_today);
END;

We’re looking into other alternatives around reducing the need for a shadow database, so stay tuned!
