NSchema 5.5.0

NSchema

NSchema is a declarative database schema migration tool. Write the schema you want in plain SQL, point NSchema at your database, and it will compute and apply the migration to get there.

It borrows the same plan, apply pattern from Terraform, and includes a lot of similar features like backend state, database providers, and saved plan files.

Full documentation and provider support is available at nschema.dev.

Installation

This installs the nschema command.

nschema new       # scaffold a project (config + sample schema)
