Schema Evolution Systems

Open Source

Liquibase

Liquibase is an open source (LGPL), DBMS-independent library for tracking, managing and applying database changes. It is built on a simple premise: All database changes (structure and data) are stored in an XML-based descriptive manner and checked into source control.

Document Predictability Transformation Reversibility
Schema DBDoc Change log & Diff Yes lose-less operation
Data DBDoc Change log & Diff Yes lose-less operation
Query/Update N/A SQL Output N/A N/A
Other Objects DBDoc Change log & Diff Yes lose-less operation

Python Migration Packages[1]

Some packages support reversibility, but most of them are not.

Document Predictability Transformation Reversibility
Schema Probably N/A Yes few of Packages
Data Probably N/A Yes few of Packages
Query/Update N/A N/A N/A N/A
Other Objects N/A N/A Probably N/A

DB2® Change Management Expert

DB2 Change Management Expert is a powerful and flexible tool that simplifies the process of identifying, analyzing, and implementing database schema changes for DB2 UDB for Linux®, UNIX, and Windows®. DB2 Change Management Expert simplifies the process of managing schema changes. You can use DB2 Change Management Expert to visualize your changes before you make them. You can use DB2 Change Management Expert to apply change commands to physical data models, which enables you to see the results of the change commands before you deploy the changes against the actual DB2 database. Applying a change command to a model is similar to issuing a command against DB2.

Document Predictability Transformation Reversibility
Schema Creates a historical base model Displays related schema changes, delta DDL Graphical Reverse
Data  ? Aggregates summary Yes  ?
Query/Update N/A N/A N/A N/A
Other Objects  ? database dependencies Probably Yes  ?

Oracle Change Management Pack

Oracle Change Management Pack introduces integrated, Web-based tools for capturing and comparing metadata definitions. These tools provide a powerful system for tracking both metadata dictionary changes within a single database and differences between databases. Existing Oracle Change Management Pack components let users carry out schema upgrades and other complex database changes effortlessly, safely, and without loss of data.

Document Predictability Transformation Reversibility
Schema Backing out Yes Graphical Reverse
Data Probably Yes Yes Yes Reverse
Query/Update N/A Probably--Impact Report N/A N/A
Other Objects  ? Probably Yes Yes Reverse

MySQL Workbench - Change Management

MySQL Workbench enables a DBA, developer, or data architect to visually design, generate, and manage all types of databases including Web, OLTP, and data warehouse databases. It includes everything a data modeler needs for creating complex ER models, and also delivers key features for performing difficult change management and documentation tasks that normally require much time and effort. Database change management is a difficult and complex process, which involves maintaining different versions of database schemas and manually modifying existing databases. To help DBAs and developers with change management, MySQL Workbench includes Schema Synchronization and Comparison utilities. A DBA can compare two live databases or a model and a live database and visually see the differences, and also perform a synchronization between a model and a live database or vice versa.

Document Predictability Transformation Reversibility
Schema DBDoc* Yes Graphical Reverse
Data DBDoc* Yes Yes Reverse
Query/Update N/A N/A N/A N/A
Other Objects Probably DBDoc* Yes Yes Reverse

[*] DBDoc is available only on commercial version.

IDERA SQL Change Manager

IDERA SQL Change Manager is a powerful solution for simplifying and automating change management for Microsoft SQL Server databases. SQL change manager streamlines database change management procedures by capturing periodic database schema snapshots, highlighting changes from a baseline, and enabling easy roll-back, roll-out and recovery of lost or damaged database objects. Designed to meet the needs of enterprise-scale SQL Server implementations, SQL change manager easily scales to monitor and automate schema changes in environments of any size.

Document Predictability Transformation Reversibility
Schema Version Control Yes Graphical Rollback
Data Version Control Yes Yes Rollback
Query/Update N/A N/A N/A N/A
Other Objects Version Control Yes Yes Rollback

Embarcardero Change Manager

Embarcardero Change Manager offers database administrators and developers a powerful set of tools to simplify and automate the database change management lifecycle. Change Manager's schema compare and alter, data compare and synchronization, and configuration auditing capabilities report on database changes, roll out new releases, and pinpoint database performance problems that result from both planned and unplanned changes.

Document Predictability Transformation Reversibility
Schema record of database schema Yes Yes  ?
Data  ? Probably Yes Probably Yes  ?
Query/Update N/A N/A N/A N/A
Other Objects  ? Probably Yes Probably Yes  ?

RedGate SQL Solutions (multiple solutions)

RedGate SQL Compare is the industry-standard tool for comparing and synchronizing SQL Server database schemas. It's used by over 150,000 developers, DBAs and test engineers worldwide because it's easy to use, it's fast, and it saves time. RedGate SQL Data Compare is used for automating data migrations, analyzing corrupted data, restoring row-level data from backups and compiling audit trails of missing or changed data. It's the industry standard tool for comparing and synchronizing the contents of two databases because it's very reliable and also very fast. RedGate SQL Dependency Tracker allows you to dynamically explore all your database object dependencies, using a range of graphical layouts. You can analyze large Microsoft SQL 2000, 2005 and 2008 databases and produce an easy-to-read dependency diagram for thorough pre-impact analysis of all database changes. SQL Refactor allows you to automatically format your SQL code and database objects in the style of your choice. SQL Refactor improves the quality of your code, making it easier to read, understand and share amongst a team. A companion tool to SQL Prompt, SQL Refactor dramatically speeds up database development and administration, without impacting on the behavior of your database and applications.
