Sqitch

Sqitch is a database change management application for deploying and tracking database changes. It is a standalone system, not tied to a framework, ORM, database engine, or development environment. Changes are written as scripts native to the chosen database, and can declare dependencies—including changes in other Sqitch projects—to establish execution order. A plan file and Merkle tree pattern support deployment integrity without requiring numbered change names. Sqitch can deploy and revert changes, report status and history, and run optional verification scripts. Its manual lists PostgreSQL, YugabyteDB, CockroachDB, SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, Firebird, Vertica, Exasol, Snowflake, and ClickHouse. Connecting and executing scripts requires the database's native command-line client and connector libraries. Installation options include source, Docker, Linux distribution packages, macOS Homebrew, and Windows instructions. Sqitch is free, with a license permitting use and distribution, and is available for Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted use.
