It currently supports:\n\n*   [PostgreSQL] 8.4+\n*   [YugabyteDB] 2.6+\n*   [CockroachDB] 21+\n*   [SQLite][lite] 3.8.6+\n*   [MySQL][my] 5.1+\n*   [MariaDB] 10.0+\n*   [Oracle][orcl] 10g+,\n*   [Firebird][bird] 2.0+\n*   [Vertica][vert] 7.2+\n*   [Exasol][exa] 6.0+\n*   [Snowflake][flake]\n*   [ClickHouse][click] 25.8+\n\nWhat makes it different from your typical migration approaches? A few things:\n\n*   No opinions\n\n    Sqitch is not tied to any framework, ORM, or platform. Rather, it is a\n    standalone change management system with no opinions about your database\n    engine, application framework, or development environment.\n\n*   Native scripting\n\n    Changes are implemented as scripts native to your selected database engine.\n    Writing a [PostgreSQL] application? Write SQL scripts for [`psql`]. Writing\n    an [Oracle][orcl]-backed app? Write SQL scripts for [SQL\\*Plus].\n\n*   Dependency resolution\n\n    Database changes may declare dependencies on other changes -- even on\n    changes from other Sqitch projects. This ensures proper order of\n    execution, even when you've committed changes to your VCS out-of-order.\n\n*   Deployment integrity\n\n    Sqitch manages changes and dependencies via a plan file, employing a\n    [Merkle tree] pattern similar to [Git][gitmerkle] and [Blockchain] to ensure\n    deployment integrity. As such, there is no need to number your changes,\n    although you can if you want. Sqitch doesn't much care how you name your\n    changes.\n\n*   Iterative Development\n\n    Up until you [tag] and [release] your project, you can modify your change\n    deployment scripts as often as you like. They're not locked in just because\n    they've been committed to your VCS. This allows you to take an iterative or\n    test-driven approach to developing your database schema.\n\nWant to learn more? The best place to start is in the tutorials:\n\n*   [Introduction to Sqitch on PostgreSQL, YugabyteDB, and CockroachDB](lib/sqitchtutorial.pod)\n*   [Introduction to Sqitch on SQLite](lib/sqitchtutorial-sqlite.pod)\n*   [Introduction to Sqitch on Oracle](lib/sqitchtutorial-oracle.pod)\n*   [Introduction to Sqitch on MySQL](lib/sqitchtutorial-mysql.pod)\n*   [Introduction to Sqitch on Firebird](lib/sqitchtutorial-firebird.pod)\n*   [Introduction to Sqitch on Vertica](lib/sqitchtutorial-vertica.pod)\n*   [Introduction to Sqitch on Exasol](lib/sqitchtutorial-exasol.pod)\n*   [Introduction to Sqitch on Snowflake](lib/sqitchtutorial-snowflake.pod)\n\nThere have also been a number of presentations on Sqitch:\n\n* [PDX.pm Presentation]: Slides from \"Sane Database Management with Sqitch\",\n  presented to the Portland Perl Mongers in January, 2013.\n\n* [PDXPUG Presentation]: Movie of \"Sane Database Management with Sqitch\",\n  presented to the Portland PostgreSQL Users Group in September, 2012.\n\n* [Agile Database Development]: Slides from a three-hour tutorial session on\n  using [Git], test-driven development with [pgTAP], and change management with\n  Sqitch, updated in January, 2014.\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\nTo install Sqitch from a distribution download, type the following:\n\n    perl Build.PL\n    ./Build installdeps\n    ./Build\n    ./Build test\n    ./Build install\n\nTo install Sqitch and all of its dependencies into a single directory named\n`sqitch_bundle`, install the Menlo CPAN client and build the bundle:\n\n    cpanm Menlo::CLI::Compat\n    ./Build bundle --install_base sqitch_bundle\n\nAfter which, Sqitch can be run from `./sqitch_bundle/bin/sqitch`. By default,\nno modules that are included in the core Perl distribution are included. To\nrequire that dual-life modules also be bundled, pass `--dual_life 1`:\n\n    ./Build bundle --install_base sqitch_bundle --dual_life 1\n\nTo include support for a feature in the bundle, pass the `--with` option\nnaming the feature:\n\n    ./Build bundle --install_base sqitch_bundle --with postgres --with sqlite\n\nThe feature names generally correspond to the supported engines. The currently\nsupported features are:\n\n*   `--with postgres`:  Support for managing Postgres, Yugabyte, and Cockroach databases\n*   `--with sqlite`:    Support for managing SQLite databases\n*   `--with mysql`:     Support for managing MySQL databases\n*   `--with firebird`:  Support for managing Firebird databases\n*   `--with oracle`:    Support for managing Oracle databases\n*   `--with vertica`:   Support for managing Vertica databases\n*   `--with exasol`:    Support for managing Exasol databases\n*   `--with snowflake`: Support for managing Snowflake databases\n*   `--with odbc`:      Include the ODBC driver\n\nTo build from a Git clone, first install [Dist::Zilla], then use it to install\nSqitch and all dependencies:\n\n    cpanm Dist::Zilla\n    dzil authordeps --missing | cpanm\n    dzil listdeps --missing | cpanm\n    dzil install\n\nTo run Sqitch directly from the Git clone, execute `t/sqitch`.\n\nTo install Sqitch on a specific platform, including Debian- and RedHat-derived\nLinux distributions and Windows, see the [Installation documentation].\n\nLicense\n-------\n\nCopyright (c) 2012-2026 David E.
