Java/Groovy Rails Database Migrations

Question

Is there a tool in the Java/Groovy world that lets me manage database changes similar to the way that Rails Database Migrations work?

Answer 1

If you dont mind using the rails way db schema just use rails migrations for your project.

I have a PHP project and I setup a bare rails project with migrations for it.

Works great.

Answer 3

In the Grails world, you can use the Autobase plugin. If that is nonsensical for your project, you can just use the tool that it is based off of, Liquibase. Both are a nice set of idiomatic Java/Grails tools.

I blogged about database migrations for java recently here.
