gorm-goose

This is a fork of (https://github.com/Altoros/gorm-goose)[https://github.com/Altoros/gorm-goose] which is also fork of https://bitbucket.org/liamstask/goose for gorm.

gorm-goose is a database migration tool for gorm. Currently, available drivers are: "postgres", "mysql", or "sqlite3".

You can manage your database's evolution by creating incremental SQL or Go scripts.

Install

$ go get github.com/go-migration/gorm-goose/cmd/gorm-goose

This will install the gorm-goose binary to your $GOPATH/bin directory.

You can also build gorm-goose into your own applications by importing github.com/go-migration/gorm-goose/lib/gorm-goose.

Usage

gorm-goose provides several commands to help manage your database schema.

create

Create a new Go migration.

$ gorm-goose create AddSomeColumns
$ goose: created db/migrations/20130106093224_AddSomeColumns.go

Edit the newly created script to define the behavior of your migration.

You can also create an SQL migration:

$ gorm-goose create AddSomeColumns sql
$ goose: created db/migrations/20130106093224_AddSomeColumns.sql

up

Apply all available migrations.

$ gorm-goose up
$ goose: migrating db environment 'development', current version: 0, target: 3
$ OK    001_basics.sql
$ OK    002_next.sql
$ OK    003_and_again.go

option: pgschema

Use the pgschema flag with the up command specify a postgres schema.

$ gorm-goose -pgschema=my_schema_name up
$ goose: migrating db environment 'development', current version: 0, target: 3
$ OK    001_basics.sql
$ OK    002_next.sql
$ OK    003_and_again.go

down

Roll back a single migration from the current version.

$ gorm-goose down
$ goose: migrating db environment 'development', current version: 3, target: 2
$ OK    003_and_again.go

redo

Roll back the most recently applied migration, then run it again.

$ gorm-goose redo
$ goose: migrating db environment 'development', current version: 3, target: 2
$ OK    003_and_again.go
$ goose: migrating db environment 'development', current version: 2, target: 3
$ OK    003_and_again.go

status

Print the status of all migrations:

$ gorm-goose status
$ goose: status for environment 'development'
$   Applied At                  Migration
$   =======================================
$   Sun Jan  6 11:25:03 2013 -- 001_basics.sql
$   Sun Jan  6 11:25:03 2013 -- 002_next.sql
$   Pending                  -- 003_and_again.go

dbversion

Print the current version of the database:

$ gorm-goose dbversion
$ goose: dbversion 002

gorm-goose -h provides more detailed info on each command.

Migrations

gorm-goose supports migrations written in SQL or in Go - see the gorm-goose create command above for details on how to generate them.

SQL Migrations

A sample SQL migration looks like:

-- +goose Up
CREATE TABLE post (
    id int NOT NULL,
    title text,
    body text,
    PRIMARY KEY(id)
);

-- +goose Down
DROP TABLE post;

Notice the annotations in the comments. Any statements following -- +goose Up will be executed as part of a forward migration, and any statements following -- +goose Down will be executed as part of a rollback.

By default, SQL statements are delimited by semicolons - in fact, query statements must end with a semicolon to be properly recognized by goose.

More complex statements (PL/pgSQL) that have semicolons within them must be annotated with -- +goose StatementBegin and -- +goose StatementEnd to be properly recognized. For example:

-- +goose Up
-- +goose StatementBegin
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION histories_partition_creation( DATE, DATE )
returns void AS $$
DECLARE
  create_query text;
BEGIN
  FOR create_query IN SELECT
      'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS histories_'
      || TO_CHAR( d, 'YYYY_MM' )
      || ' ( CHECK( created_at >= timestamp '''
      || TO_CHAR( d, 'YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00' )
      || ''' AND created_at < timestamp '''
      || TO_CHAR( d + INTERVAL '1 month', 'YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00' )
      || ''' ) ) inherits ( histories );'
    FROM generate_series( $1, $2, '1 month' ) AS d
  LOOP
    EXECUTE create_query;
  END LOOP;  -- LOOP END
END;         -- FUNCTION END
$$
language plpgsql;
-- +goose StatementEnd

Go Migrations

A sample Go migration looks like:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/jinzhu/gorm"
)

func Up_20130106222315(txn *gorm.DB) {
	fmt.Println("Hello from migration 20130106222315 Up!")
}

func Down_20130106222315(txn *gorm.DB) {
	fmt.Println("Hello from migration 20130106222315 Down!")
}

Up_20130106222315() will be executed as part of a forward migration, and Down_20130106222315() will be executed as part of a rollback.

The numeric portion of the function name (20130106222315) must be the leading portion of migration's filename, such as 20130106222315_descriptive_name.go. gorm-goose create does this by default.

A transaction is provided, rather than the DB instance directly, since gorm-goose also needs to record the schema version within the same transaction. Each migration should run as a single transaction to ensure DB integrity, so it's good practice anyway.

Configuration

gorm-goose expects you to maintain a folder (typically called "db"), which contains the following:

• a dbconf.yml file that describes the database configurations you'd like to use
• a folder called "migrations" which contains .sql and/or .go scripts that implement your migrations

You may use the -path option to specify an alternate location for the folder containing your config and migrations.

A sample dbconf.yml looks like

development:
    driver: postgres
    open: user=liam dbname=tester sslmode=disable

Here, development specifies the name of the environment, and the driver and open elements are passed directly to database/sql to access the specified database.

You may include as many environments as you like, and you can use the -env command line option to specify which one to use. gorm-goose defaults to using an environment called development.

gorm-goose will expand environment variables in the open element. For an example, see the Heroku section below.

Using goose with Heroku

These instructions assume that you're using Keith Rarick's Heroku Go buildpack. First, add a file to your project called (e.g.) install_goose.go to trigger building of the goose executable during deployment, with these contents:

// use build constraints to work around http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=4210
// +build heroku

// note: need at least one blank line after build constraint
package main

import _ "github.com/go-migration/gorm-goose/cmd/gorm-goose"

Set up your Heroku database(s) as usual.

Then make use of environment variable expansion in your dbconf.yml:

production:
    driver: postgres
    open: $DATABASE_URL

To run gorm-goose in production, use heroku run:

heroku run gorm-goose -env production up
