Sqitch Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Ask HN: What tool(s) do you use to code review and deploy SQL scripts?

  We use https://sqitch.org/ and we’re fairly happy with it. Sqitch manages the files to deploy which are applied fits to a local database. We use GitHub actions for deployment and database migrations are just one step of the pipeline. The step invokes sqitch deploy which runs all the pending migration files. Then, all the approval process is standard for the environment. We require approvals in pull requests... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• PostgREST: Providing HTML Content Using Htmx

  I'm experimenting with it right now using Squitch [1] to make maintenance easier. It still feels like a hack and I also still have my doubts about the viability of this for real-world use. It's fun though and I'm learning about all kinds of advanced Postgres features. [1] https://sqitch.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Announcing codd - a tool to apply postgres SQL migrations

  How does it compare with other SQL-based migration tools like Sqitch? Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you test SQL?

  Yup, same. Last time I set this up I used Sqitch¹ for migrations, which encourages you to write tests for each migration; caught a lot of bugs early that way, all in a local-first dev environment. Worked especially well for Postgres since plpgsql makes it easy to write tests more imperatively. ¹: https://sqitch.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Conceptually how do you handle deploys of SQL related things (table definition, scripts, stored procs etc) in a CI/CD way?

  Sqitch. DB migrations for multiple data stores without a proprietary syntax for DB updates. Git-aware. Integrated unit testing. Https://sqitch.org/ Https://youtu.be/wF4PEe8HD7k. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is putting business logic in stored procedure a good Idea?

  There are attempts to change the way SQL stuff is handled to make it closer to other development processes, such as tSQLt for testing or Sqitch for git-like schema changes, etc. They are there for a reason, to improve your workflow if you cannot get rid of those mammoth SQL codebase. Use those kind of tools as much as you can. Source: over 2 years ago

• Warehouse Schema/Table automated creation

  Since your existing transformation queries are written in SQL and orchestrated by Airflow, then you could write your DDL queries together with a database migration tool, for example: Sqitch, Flyway, and Liquidbase (there's probably more I'm missing). Source: over 2 years ago

• Best open-source database schema migration tool to automate migrations?

  I recently saw some very enthusiastic endorsements of https://sqitch.org/ - I tried it out myself and it seemed very well designed and ticked all of my boxes, but I've not used it for a full project yet. Source: over 2 years ago

  An alternative would be https://sqitch.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

• GraphJin – An Instant GraphQL to SQL Compiler

  > ad-hoc SQL functions in the database If you use tools like Sqitch, Metagration or any other suitable migration management system then functions in your database stop being scary. Sqitch: https://sqitch.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Asynchronous ORM for Perl?

  For database migrations, I almost exclusively use sqitch. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Declarative deployment of Postgres functions and views

  Probably I misunderstood the problem, but did you check https://sqitch.org. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Tools for designing and creating a database.

  You can also use a tool like Sqitch which helps you manage migration separately. However you can't generate changes from your code, which is one of the main selling point of EF. Source: about 3 years ago

• Database versioning

  Https://sqitch.org/ might be of interest. Source: about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you manage direct updates to databases in a production system

  Use your standard DB migration tooling, with code/change review as part of the process. I’m a big fan of sqitch[1] but many migration tools will handle data updates as well as DDL. 1: https://sqitch.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Screw DSLs. Write migrations using plain SQL

  Have you seen Sqitch (https://sqitch.org/)? It does exactly this, and it's a battle-tested system with a decent number of users, and it supports many database. I didn't dig deep into this new system, but it looks very much like Sqitch at a glance. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Thick Databases

  I am also aware that there are other tools, such as sqitch, available for helping manage database changes in a way that makes it easier to track the history of changes. I have not tried such tools myself, but may look into them in the future. It may be preferable to use tools like this if recreating the schema completely is too slow, or there are changes for which you can't just simply recreate the schema entirely. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
