ffmigration is a simple database migration tool.
Is a simple ans elegant way of keeping database migrations in order in various environemnts, keeping track of wich database migratison are executed and with none.
ffmigration is a forward only migration tool, it means that there isnt ant automatic way to rollback and applied migration.
How it works
ffmigration creates a table names migration_history on the selected database to keep track od the applied migrations. This table is created automatically on first run.
On every run, ffmigration looks to all the files with a .sql extension in the migration directory provided in the command line, checks if the migration file has been applied to the database, and if ih has not been aplied it is apllied to the the database and saved to migration_history.
It is recomended to name all the migration files prefixed with a number to keep the order. For example:
ls /some/migrations/dir/
0001_create_some_table.sql
0002_add_some_data.sql
0003_create_index.sql
0004_other_useful_tweaks.sql
