Flyway Baseline On Migrate Setting
Published 15 January 2025
Description
Whether to automatically call baseline when migrate is executed against a non-empty schema with no schema history table. This schema will then be baselined with the
baselineVersion
before executing the migrations. Only migrations above baselineVersion
will then be applied.
This is useful for initial Flyway production deployments on projects with an existing DB.
Be careful when enabling this as it removes the safety net that ensures Flyway does not migrate the wrong database in case of a configuration mistake!
Type
Boolean
Default
false
Usage
Flyway Desktop
This can't be set in a config file via Flyway Desktop, although it will be honoured, and it can be configured as an advanced parameter in operations on the Migrations page.
