goose
Goose is a database migration tool. Manage your database schema by creating incremental SQL changes or Go functions.
Goals of this fork
github.com/pressly/goose
is a fork of bitbucket.org/liamstask/goose
with the following changes:
- No config files
- Default goose binary can migrate SQL files only
- Go migrations:
- We don't
go build
Go migrations functions on-the-fly
from within the goose binary - Instead, we let you
create your own custom goose binary,
register your Go migration functions explicitly and run complex
migrations with your own
*sql.DB
connection - Go migration functions let you run your code within
an SQL transaction, if you use the
*sql.Tx
argument
- The goose pkg is decoupled from the binary:
- goose pkg doesn't register any SQL drivers anymore,
thus no driver
panic()
conflict within your codebase! - goose pkg doesn't have any vendor dependencies anymore
- We use timestamped migrations by default but recommend a hybrid approach of using timestamps in the development process and sequential versions in production.
Install
$ go get -u github.com/pressly/goose/cmd/goose
This will install the goose
binary to your $GOPATH/bin
directory.
For a lite version of the binary without DB connection dependent commands, use the exclusive build tags:
$ go build -tags='no_postgres no_mysql no_sqlite3' -i -o goose ./cmd/goose

version Print the current version of the database
create NAME [sql|go] Creates new migration file with the current timestamp
fix Apply sequential ordering to migrations
create
Create a new SQL migration.
$ goose create add_some_column sql
$ Created new file: 20170506082420_add_some_column.sql
Edit the newly created file to define the behavior of your migration.
You can also create a Go migration, if you then invoke it with your own goose binary:
$ goose create fetch_user_data go
$ Created new file: 20170506082421_fetch_user_data.go
up
Apply all available migrations.
$ goose up
$ OK 001_basics.sql
$ OK 002_next.sql
$ OK 003_and_again.go
up-to
Migrate up to a specific version.
$ goose up-to 20170506082420
$ OK 20170506082420_create_table.sql
up-by-one
Migrate up a single migration from the current version
$ goose up-by-one
$ OK 20170614145246_change_type.sql
down
Roll back a single migration from the current version.
$ goose down
$ OK 003_and_again.go
down-to
Roll back migrations to a specific version.
$ goose down-to 20170506082527
$ OK 20170506082527_alter_column.sql
redo
Roll back the most recently applied migration, then run it again.
$ goose redo
$ OK 003_and_again.go
$ OK 003_and_again.go
status
Print the status of all migrations:
$ goose status
$ Applied At Migration
$ =======================================
$ Sun Jan 6 11:25:03 2013 -- 001_basics.sql
$ Sun Jan 6 11:25:03 2013 -- 002_next.sql
$ Pending -- 003_and_again.go
Note: for MySQL parseTime flag must be enabled.
version
Print the current version of the database:
$ goose version
$ goose: version 002
Migrations
goose supports migrations written in SQL or in Go.
SQL Migrations
A sample SQL migration looks like:
CREATE TABLE post (
id int NOT NULL,
title text,
body text,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
);
DROP TABLE post;
Notice the annotations in the comments. Any statements following -- +goose Up
will be executed as part of a forward migration, and any statements following -- +goose Down
will be executed as part of a rollback.
By default, all migrations are run within a transaction. Some statements like CREATE DATABASE
, however, cannot be run within a transaction. You may optionally add -- +goose NO TRANSACTION
to the top of your migration
file in order to skip transactions within that specific migration file. Both Up and Down migrations within this file will be run without transactions.
By default, SQL statements are delimited by semicolons - in fact, query statements must end with a semicolon to be properly recognized by goose.
More complex statements (PL/pgSQL) that have semicolons within them must be annotated with -- +goose StatementBegin
and -- +goose StatementEnd
to be properly recognized. For example:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION histories_partition_creation( DATE, DATE )
returns void AS $$
DECLARE
create_query text;
BEGIN
FOR create_query IN SELECT
'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS histories_'
|| TO_CHAR( d, 'YYYY_MM' )
|| ' ( CHECK( created_at >= timestamp '''
|| TO_CHAR( d, 'YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00' )
|| ''' AND created_at < timestamp '''
|| TO_CHAR( d + INTERVAL '1 month', 'YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00' )
|| ''' ) ) inherits ( histories );'
FROM generate_series( $1, $2, '1 month' ) AS d
LOOP
EXECUTE create_query;
END LOOP;
END;
$$
language plpgsql;
Go Migrations
- Create your own goose binary, see example
- Import
github.com/pressly/goose
- Register your migration functions
- Run goose command, ie.
goose.Up(db *sql.DB, dir string)
A sample Go migration 00002_users_add_email.go file looks like:
package migrations
import (
"database/sql"
"github.com/pressly/goose"
)
func init() {
goose.AddMigration(Up, Down)
}
func Up(tx *sql.Tx) error {
_, err := tx.Exec("UPDATE users SET username='admin' WHERE username='root';")
if err != nil {
return err
}
return nil
}
func Down(tx *sql.Tx) error {
_, err := tx.Exec("UPDATE users SET username='root' WHERE username='admin';")
if err != nil {
return err
}
return nil
}
Hybrid Versioning
Please, read the versioning problem first.
We strongly recommend adopting a hybrid versioning approach, using both timestamps and sequential numbers. Migrations created during the development process are timestamped and sequential versions are ran on production. We believe this method will prevent the problem of conflicting versions when writing software in a team environment.
To help you adopt this approach, create
will use the current timestamp as the migration version. When you're ready to deploy your migrations in a production environment, we also provide a helpful fix
command to convert your migrations into sequential order, while preserving the timestamp ordering. We recommend running fix
in the CI pipeline, and only when the migrations are ready for production.
