Published 31 October 2023
Target
Description
The target version up to which Flyway should consider migrations. This must be a valid migration version, or one of the special values detailed later.
Migrate
When migrating forwards, Flyway will apply all migrations up to and including the target version. Migrations with a
higher version number will be ignored. If the target is current, then no versioned migrations will be
applied but repeatable migrations will be, together with any callbacks.
Special values
current: designates the current version of the schemalatest: the latest version of the schema, as defined by the migration with the highest versionnext: the next version of the schema, as defined by the first pending migration<version>?: instructs Flyway to not fail if the target version doesn't exist. In this case, Flyway will go up to but not beyond the specified target (default: fail if the target version doesn't exist) (e.g.)target=2.1?
Default
latest for versioned migrations
Undo
When undoing migrations, Flyway works its way up the schema history table (i.e. in reverse applied order), undoing versioned migrations until it gets to one meeting one of these conditions:
- The migration's version number is below the target version.
- The migration doesn't have a corresponding undo migration.
Specifying a target version should be done with care, as undo scripts typically destroy database objects.
Special values
current,latest,next: designates the current version of the schema. Flyway will undo the latest applied migration.<version>?: instructs Flyway to not fail if the target version doesn't exist. In this case, Flyway will go down to but not beyond the specified target (default: fail if the target version doesn't exist) (e.g.)target=2.1?
Default
current for undo migrations.
