Redgate Flyway

Currently, there is no GUI in Flyway Desktop to customize the filter files.

The filter file has to be manually created in one of two ways:

create a file called filter.rgf in the project folder (next to flyway.toml)
specify a particular file name in flyway.toml (under redgateCompare.filterFile) and create that file instead

Example scenarios

These examples apply to all supported database engines i.e. PostgreSQL and MySQL

I want to ignore all objects of a particular type e.g. views Toggle source code

{
    "version": "1.1",
    "postFilters":
    [
        {
            "filterBy": "objectType",
            "filterValue": "view",
            "effect": "exclude"
        }
    ]
}

I want to ignore all properties of a particular name e.g. collations Toggle source code

{
    "version": "1.1",
    "postFilters":
    [
        {
            "filterTarget": "property",
            "filterBy": "name",
            "filterValue": "collation",
            "effect": "exclude"
        }
    ]
}

How do I ignore multiple property names and object types e.g. collations and all views Toggle source code

{
    "version": "1.1",
    "postFilters":
    [
        {
            "filterBy": "objectType",
            "filterValue": "view",
            "effect": "exclude"
        },
        {
            "filterTarget": "property",
            "filterBy": "name",
            "filterValue": "collation",
            "effect": "exclude"
        }
    ]
}

PostgreSQL specific example scenarios

These examples apply only to PostgreSQL and its variants

How do I ignore all privileges Toggle source code

{
    "version": "1.1",
    "postFilters":
    [
        {
            "filterTarget": "property",
            "filterBy": "name",
            "filterValue": "privileges",
            "effect": "exclude"
        }
    ]
}

How do I ignore all owners Toggle source code

{
    "version": "1.1",
    "postFilters":

            "filterBy": "name",
            "filterValue": "owner",
            "effect": "exclude"
        }

}
