Liquigen

Liquibase Changeset Generation for IntelliJ IDEA

How to Use

This plugin acts as a front-end for several Liquibase command-line actions.

Currently the following actions are supported:

Generate a Liquibase XML changelog to recreate a selected Data Source from scratch
Generate a Liquibase XML changelog to create selected database objects for a single Data Source
Compare two Data Sources - a reference and a target - and generate a Liquibase XML changelog to transform the target Data Source to the reference

Generate XML from Data Source

Select a Data Source, then select Liquibase > Generate Changeset

Generate XML from Database Objects

Select a single or several Database Objects, then select Liquibase > Generate Changeset

If Liquibase does not support generating XML changeset for selected objects, the resulting XML will be empty.

Compare two Data Sources

Select a Data Source, then select Liquibase > Generate Diff
Select a reference Data Source in the pop-up

Select two Data Sources, then select Liquibase > Generate Diff on any of them

Generated diff will be based upon which transformations are needed to transform target Data Source to a reference Data Source.

This operation is not symmetric.
