The document discusses the use of Liquibase for Java development, detailing its features, commands, and integration with tools like Maven and Spring Boot. It provides insights on managing database scripts, change sets, and executing updates while also touching on rollback procedures, custom changes, and testing. The author, Illia Seleznov, shares his experience and knowledge gained from years of working with Liquibase in various projects.

1. Liquibase for java
developers
By Illia Seleznov

2. Who am I?
Lead Software Engineer at EPAM Systems
More than 7 years in commercial java development
2 project from scratch to production
Speaker experience at Epam events, Logik Night,
UADEVCLUB.

3. Why me?
Working with liquibase since 2014
Have used liquibase on 3 projects
Implemented liquibase on 1 project
Liquibase is a part of my dream application

4. Agenda
How do we work with DB? What do we really need?
Liquibase artifacts
Liquibase commands
Liquibase with maven
Liquibase with Spring Boot

5. First DB - first decisions
DB script management
DAO testing
Deployment

6. Types of DB scripts
Scripts that change existing data or structure in DB
Scripts that change existing logic(procedures, views...)

7. DB management
Create one file with all sql scripts
Create separate files named 1.sql, 2.sql….
Use spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
Custom tool
DBA will find a solution

8. DAO tests
Run scripts on test DB
Use existing database, populate it with test data before
test running and clean it after tests running
Use embeded db with predefined test data
Insert test data
Remove test data after test

9. Deployment
Simple(stop -> backup -> update -> start)
Simple replication
Replication and zero time deployment

10. Replication

11. Database migration tools

12. Liquibase is open sources
Founded in 2006 year
Author is Nathan Voxland
Github: https://github.com/liquibase

17. Liquibase is just a jar file
liquibase [options] [command] [command parameters]
Example:
java -jar liquibase.jar
--driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
--classpath=pathtoclasses:jdbcdriver.jar
--changeLogFile=com/example/db.changelog.xml
--url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:oracle"
--username=scott
--password=tiger
update

18. Liquibase.properties file
1.Create liquibase.properties file near liquibase.jar
2.Add all connection data to this file
driver: org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
url: jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/shop_db
username: shop
password: qwerty
classpath: /home/illcko/liquibase/dbdrivers/mariadb-java-client-1.4.6.jar

19. Easy command line
java -jar liquibase.jar --changeLogFile=changelogs/yaml/master.yaml update
java -jar liquibase.jar --changeLogFile=changelogs/json/master.json dropAll
java -jar liquibase.jar --changeLogFile=changelogs/xml/master.xml dropAll
update

21. Liquibase system tables

22. Changests
The changeSet tag is what you use to group database
changes/refactorings together.

23. Example
<databaseChangeLog>
<changeSet id="1" author="bob">
<comment>A sample change log</comment>
<createTable/>
</changeSet>
<changeSet id="2" author="bob" runAlways="true">
<alterTable/>
<createIndex/>
<addPrimaryKey/>
</changeSet>
</databaseChangeLog>

26. SQL also here
SQL as changelog file
Include sql file
SQL tag in changeset

27. SQL as changelog file
--liquibase formatted sql
--changeset seleznov:1
create table test1 (
id int primary key,
name varchar(255)
);
--rollback drop table test1;
--changeset seleznov:2
insert into test1 (id, name) values (1, ‘name 1′);
insert into test1 (id, name) values (2, ‘name 2′);
--changeset seleznov:3 dbms:oracle
create sequence seq_test;

28. SQL as file

● Data differences (limited), not checked by
default
Exclude:

41. Documentation commands
dbDoc <outputDirectory> - generates Javadoc-like
documentation based on current database and change log.
java -jar liquibase.jar --changeLogFile=changelogs/xml/master.xml dbDoc ../doc

42. Maintenance commands
tag <tag> - "tags" the current database state for future rollback.
tagExists <tag> - Checks whether the given tag is already existing.
status - Outputs count (list if --verbose) of unrun change sets.
validate - checks the changelog for errors.
changelogSync - mark all changes as executed in the database.
changelogSyncSQL - writes SQL to mark all changes as executed in the database to STDOUT.
markNextChangeSetRan - mark the next change set as executed in the database.
listLocks - lists who currently has locks on the database changelog.
releaseLocks - Releases all locks on the database changelog.

rollbackSQL <tag> - writes SQL to roll back the database to the state it was in when the tag was applied
to STDOUT.
rollbackToDateSQL <date/time> - writes SQL to roll back the database to the state it was in at the
given date/time version to STDOUT.
rollbackCountSQL <value> - writes SQL to roll back the last <value> change sets to STDOUT.
futureRollbackSQL - writes SQL to roll back the database to the current state after the changes in the
changeslog have been applied.
updateTestingRollback - updates the database, then rolls back changes before updating again.
