Ridgepole

Ridgepole is a tool to manage DB schema.

It defines DB schema using Rails DSL, and updates DB schema according to DSL. (like Chef/Puppet)

Notice

ActiveRecord 6.1 is supported in ridgepole v0.9, but the ActiveRecord dump has been changed, so there is a difference between ActiveRecord 5.x/6.0 format.

If you use ActiveRecord 6.1, please modify Schemafile format.

cf. https://github.com/winebarrel/ridgepole/pull/323

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ridgepole'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ridgepole

Usage

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in ...

$ cat config.yml
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
database: blog
username: root

$ ridgepole -c config.yml --export -o Schemafile
# or `ridgepole -c '{adapter: mysql2, database: blog}' ...`
# or `ridgepole -c 'mysql2://root:[email protected]:3306/blog' ...`
# or `export DB_URL='mysql2://...'; ridgepole -c env:DB_URL ...`
Export Schema to `Schemafile`

$ cat Schemafile

Rename

create_table "articles", force: :cascade do |t|
  t.string   "title"
  t.text     "desc", renamed_from: "text"
  t.text     "author"
  t.datetime "created_at"

  t.text     "body"
  t.integer  "article_id"
  t.datetime "created_at"
  t.datetime "updated_at"
end

Foreign Key

create_table "parent", force: :cascade do |t|
end

create_table "child", id: false, force: :cascade do |t|
  t.bigint "id"
  t.bigint "parent_id"
end

add_index "child", ["parent_id"], name: "par_ind", using: :btree

add_foreign_key "child", "parent", name: "child_ibfk_1"

Ignore Column/Index/FK

create_table "articles", force: :cascade do |t|
  t.string   "title", ignore: true # All changes are ignored
  t.text     "desc", renamed_from: "text"
  t.text     "author"
  t.datetime "created_at"
  t.datetime "updated_at"
end

Collation/Charset

create_table "articles", force: :cascade, options: "ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8" do |t|
  t.string   "title",                    collation: "ascii_bin"
  t.text     "text",       null: false,  collation: "utf8mb4_bin"
  t.datetime "created_at"
  t.datetime "updated_at"
end

Charset:

activerecord 5.0.0 and activerecord-mysql-awesome dumps a collation rather than charset because it does not determine the default collation for charset. Specifying a collation for each column would work if it is possible.

See mysql> show character set; to find charset / collation pair for your system.

Execute

create_table "authors", force: :cascade do |t|
  t.string "name", null: false
end

create_table "books", force: :cascade do |t|
  t.string  "title",     null: false
  t.integer "author_id", null: false
end

add_index "books", ["author_id"], name: "idx_author_id", using: :btree

execute("ALTER TABLE books ADD CONSTRAINT fk_author FOREIGN KEY (author_id) REFERENCES authors (id)") do |c|
  # Execute SQL only if there is no foreign key
  c.raw_connection.query(<<-SQL).each.size.zero?
    SELECT 1 FROM information_schema.key_column_usage
     WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'bookshelf'
       AND CONSTRAINT_NAME = 'fk_author' LIMIT 1
  SQL
end

Diff

$ ridgepole --diff file1.schema file2.schema
add_column("articles", "author", :text, {:after=>"title"})
rename_column("articles", "text", "desc")

# You can apply to the database the difference:
# $ ridgepole -c config.yml --diff file1.schema file2.schema --with-apply

You can also compare databases and files.

$ ridgepole --diff config.yml file1.schema
remove_column("articles", "author")

Execute SQL using external script

$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
SQL="$1"
CONFIG_JSON="$2"
echo "$SQL" | mysql -u root my_db

$ ridgepole -c config.yml --apply --external-script ./test.sh

Add extra statement to ALTER

$ ridgepole -a -c database.yml --alter-extra="LOCK=NONE" --debug
Apply `Schemafile`
...
-- add_column("dept_manager", "to_date2", :date, {:null=>false, :after=>"from_date"})
   (42.2ms)  ALTER TABLE `dept_manager` ADD `to_date2` date NOT NULL AFTER `from_date`,LOCK=NONE
   -> 0.0428s
-- remove_column("dept_manager", "to_date")
   (46.9ms)  ALTER TABLE `dept_manager` DROP `to_date`,LOCK=NONE
   -> 0.0471s

Relation column type check

create_table "employees", force: :cascade do |t|
  t.integer "emp_no", null: false
  t.string  "first_name", limit: 14, null: false
  t.string  "last_name", limit: 16, null: false
end

create_table "dept_manager", force: :cascade do |t|
  t.integer "employee_id"
  t.string  "dept_no", limit: 4, null: false
end

$ ridgepole -a -c database.yml --check-relation-type bigint # default primary key type (e.g. `<5.1`: integer, `>=5.1`: bigint for MySQL)
Apply `Schemafile`
...
[WARNING] Relation column type is different.
              employees.id: bigint
  dept_manager.employee_id: integer
...
