| Flyway Desktop offers a GUI-based experience for database developers and data professionals to track changes to their database objects and manage migration scripts in version control. | Flyway Command Line is a standalone Flyway distribution. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and it is primarily meant for users who wish to migrate their database from the command line without having to integrate Flyway into their applications nor having to install a build tool. Flyway can be integrated within an application using the API, allowing migrations to be applied when the application starts. | Flyway Pipelines allows you to gain centralized visibility of the state of your database deployments across pipelines so you can see what has been deployed, when and where for easy tracking.

Flyway Command Line & API
The Flyway command line and API are included as part of your Flyway Desktop installer.
Flyway has the following commands at its disposal: Migrate , Clean , Info , Validate , Undo , Baseline, Repair, Check and Snapshot .
Migrations can be written in SQL (native database-specific syntax such as PL/SQL and T-SQL is supported) or Java (for advanced data transformations or dealing with LOBs).
If you are on the JVM, we recommend using the Java API for migrating the database on application startup. Alternatively, you can also use the Maven plugin or Gradle Plugin. There are community plugins available for Spring Boot, Dropwizard, Grails, Play, SBT, Ant, Griffon, Grunt, Ninja and more!
You can find out about Databases the CLI supports in the documents and the list includes Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL (plus variants), PostgreSQL (and many variants) as well as NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Cassandra.
If you are looking for whether specific databases have Foundational or Advanced support then see Supported Databases and Versions
