Schema Migration with Flyway about spring-batch

[prafsoni]

It would be great if support for liquibase is also added along side flyway

The core package in every versioned spring-batch-core jar contains the DDL scripts that can be applied without modification for new apps using that version (ie creating the tables from scratch). For existing apps migrating from a prior version, one should apply the DDL scripts in the migration package up until the current version.

For example, if you are deploying a new batch app using v5.0, you can apply the scripts from the core package of the v5.0 jar. If you are migrating an existing app from v4.3 to v5.0 (ie the tables were already created from the v4.3 jar), then you need to apply the scripts from the migration/5.0 package of the v5.0 jar on top of existing tables. There is a note about this in the docs here.

Now the way to apply these scripts (manually or with a migration tool) is out of the scope of Spring Batch. Hopefully this answers your questions.
