Sooty: Simple Database Migrator

Sooty is a simple database migration tool for postgres databases. When working with a legacy application, more often than not, the application has no means of migrating the database forward. This is a simple library to bridge that gap.

The name Sooty comes from the bird Sooty Shearwater which can travel over 20,000 miles during it's annual migration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sooty_shearwater

Usage

sooty create add index on product ids

$ Created directory './migrations'
$ Created migration file './migrations/create_index_on_product_ids_20160218223012.sql

$ cat ./migrations/create_index_on_product_ids_20160218223012.sql

-- Just type some SQL!
-- ALTER TABLE products ADD COLUMN customer_code varchar(11)

To run your migrations just

$ sooty run <database_url>

If no database url is provided, sooty will try to use the environment variable DATABASE_URL

That's it!
