Hi All!
Thanks for the replies. I am looking for a solution, possibly 3rd party,
where I write changes to the schema and it keeps track of the changes I
made. I am used to doing stuff in pgadmin4 but I don't mind something else.
This isn't really ad-hoc. This is more like, I have a v1.0 release
coming out soon and I have made dozens or hundreds of changes to the
schema from the alpha. Right now, I can destroy the databases and
recreate them without data loss because it is in active development.
When this gets released, we need some way to make sure that we can
easily migrate between release versions and that means schema change
tracking. Basically, to Steve's concern, I don't have to go back and
figure out changes (thankfully, I have done that and it sucks) but we
need something from an initial release moving forward.
I don't have time to write my own and this problem is complex enough to
either buy a solution or go with a 3rd party application.
So far, SQITCH is looking like a winner. Yoyo can work as I have access
to python. We are not using SQLAlchemy but I don't see a reason why we
can't.
I will second the motion on Sqitch. It has met all my needs and is
framework agnostic.
Thanks all for the suggestions. This is great.
