slite-change

slite-change

A simple change management system for SQLite3 written in pure JavaScript/TypeScript.

Getting started

Installing

This needs work. Expecting it to be something like

npm install slite-change

This library reads a sequence of SQL files and applies those as changes to an SQLite3 database.

Only new changes are applied. A change log table maintains the tracking of what changes are already applied.

Change files are simple SQL, because XML sucks!

Formating Of Change Sets

Each change must begin with a comment line starting with --changeset <Author Name>:<change ID>

Each change set file is read in order of directory listing. Change ID values are integers. They must never repeat. They are applied in order as they are found with the changeset file.

This is an example of a simple change set.

--changeset Royce:1
CREATE TABLE 'users' (
  'id' int NOT NULL,
  'firstname' VARCHAR(50),
  'lastname' VARCHAR(50),
  'username' VARCHAR(50),
  'passwd' VARCHAR(50),
  'emailAddress' VARCHAR(50),
  PRIMARY KEY ('id'));

INSERT INTO 'users' (id, firstname, lastname, username, passwd, emailAddress) VALUES (0, 'admin', 'admin', 'admin', 'password', 'roo@localhost');


CREATE TABLE 'config' (
  'parameter' VARCHAR(45) NULL,
  'value' VARCHAR(45) NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY ('parameter'));
  
INSERT INTO 'config' ('parameter','value') VALUES ('db_version', '1');

Once a change set has been appled to a database, no more changes should be made to that change ID, additional changes should be added to a new changeset file with the next value of change ID.

Example changes can be found in db-changes

Usage

Put SQL files into a resources directory and create an instance of slite-change with the arguments of the DB instance and change directory.

import SliteChange from 'slite-change';
...
    this.Sql = new sqlite.Database('my_database.db', (err) => {
            if (err) {
                    console.log('Could not connect to database', err)
            } else {
                    console.log('Connected to database');

                    SliteChange(this.Sql, './src/resources/db-changes/');
            }
    });
