flyway-rs copy from db-up

flyway is a collection of Rust crates for loading and executing database migrations.

It supposed to be an alternative to refinery and was created because refinery is pretty closed when it comes to database drivers. Basically it is not possible to create database driver crates for refinery without creating either a fork or including the driver inside the refinery crate. The reason is that the refinery::Migration::applied(...) method is not public, which prevents other crates from implementing the refinery::AsyncMigrate trait and reading this issue it seems the authors are not motivated to change this behaviour.

flyway consists of multiple crates:

  • Top-level crates:
    • flyway: The main crate. Contains the migration runner and re-exports necessary macros and structs from other flyway crates.
    • flyway-rbatis: A driver for executing DB migrations via the Rbatis database library.
  • Other crates:
    • flyway-codegen: Contains the migrations attribute macro
    • flyway-sql-changelog: Contains the ChangelogFile struct that can load SQL files and split them into separate, annotated statements via a SqlStatementIterator.

Status

This crate has some known (and probably some unknown) limitations and stability issues:

  • The transaction management is not finished yet. At the moment, only a "one transaction per changelog" mode is implemented, but no "one transaction for all changes" mode. I'm not sure if anyone will need the latter, but it i plan to implement it at some point.
  • The "last successful version" is not set correctly at many places, especially when producing errors.
  • The iter() implementation for ChangelogFile is not conforming to the Rust standards yet.
  • For now, there is only an Rbatis driver implementation available.
  • The Rbatis driver in flyway-rbatis uses one set of queries for all database drivers supported by Rbatis. As far as i can tell from e.g. refinery, some database systems (specifically MSSQL) support or even need a different syntax for state management.
  • More examples should be added.
  • More tests should be added.

Usage

All the crates in this project are libraries. The included tests can be started via:

~$ cd flyway
~/flyway$ cargo test

To use the crates inside your project, the following steps should be taken:

  1. Include the necessary crates in your Cargo.toml (get available versions from crates.io):
# Add the flyway dependency
[dependency.flyway]
version = "<version>"

# Add the flyway-rbatis dependency in order to run migrations via Rbatis. At the time
# of writing, this is the only supported database driver.
[dependency.flyway-rbatis]
version = "<version>"

# Add Rbatis dependencies ...
  1. E.g in your main.rs:
use flyway::{MigrationExecutor, MigrationState, MigrationStateManager, MigrationStore, migrations, MigrationRunner};
use flyway_rbatis::RbatisMigrationDriver;
use rbatis::Rbatis;

// Load migrations (SQL files) from `examples/migrations` and make them available via
// `Migrations::changelog()`. The generated class can be used for `MigrationRunner::migrate(...)`.
#[migrations("examples/migrations")]
pub struct Migrations {
}

async fn run(rbatis: Arc<Rbatis>) -> Result<()> {
    let migration_driver = Arc::new(RbatisMigrationDriver::new(rbatis.clone(), None));
    let migration_runner = MigrationRunner::new(
        Migrations {},
        migration_driver.clone(),
        migration_driver.clone()
    );
    migration_runner.migrate().await?;
}

// Add main method that creates an `Rbatis` instance and calls the `run(...)` method.
// ...
