Snapshot

The snapshot command is currently in beta. This feature will be available in future products, but during the beta phase you can access it through your Flyway Teams or Redgate Deploy license.

snapshot captures the schema of the database specified in flyway.url into a file.

This can be used to generate a snapshot of your database in its current state for use with check.deployedSnapshot or to take a snapshot of a build database for use with check.nextSnapshot

Requirements

• .NET 6 is required in order to generate reports. You can download it from here.

Configuration parameters:

Format: -key=value

Usage example:

flyway snapshot -url=jdbc:example:database -user=username -password=password -snapshot.filename=C:\snapshots\my_snapshot

deployedSnapshot and nextSnapshot example:

In order to generate these snapshots for use with check we first need to get a list of the applied migrations so we can accurately create the build database:

flyway info -url="jdbc://prod" -infoOfState="success,out_of_order,baseline" -migrationIds > applied_migrations.txt

Then we can apply these to our build database and take a snapshot, the deployedSnapshot:

flyway migrate -cherrypick=$(cat applied_migrations.txt) -url="jdbc://build"
flyway snapshot -snapshot.filename="deployed.snapshot" -url="jdbc://build"

Lastly, we can apply any pending migrations and then capture the nextSnapshot:

flyway migrate -url="jdbc://build"
flyway snapshot -snapshot.filename="next.snapshot" -url="jdbc://build"

Example configuration file

flyway.url=jdbc:example:database
flyway.user=username
flyway.password=password
flyway.snapshot.filename=C:\snapshots\my_snapshot
