Hi all,

I would like to announce the availability of cl-migrations, a port of the migrations feature of Ruby on Rails to Common Lisp. cl-migrations is a simple tool to manage your changes to a database as you develop your web application or any database-backed application.

It works by generating a new file to put for each database change, which contains the ddl required to enable and disable that change. So, effectively you can version-control your database structure. You can move to a particular version (whether back or forth) of your database structure by simply doing:

(cl-migrations:migrate :version 42)

You can install this tool with asdf:

(asdf-install:install :cl-migrations)

This tool depends on clsql, so you can run migrations on any database that is supported by clsql. Many thanks to Kevin Rosenberg for maintaining such a useful library.

For more info, please go to this page:

Regards, Vamsee Kanakala.
