I use both ruby on rails and Java. I really enjoy using migrations when I am working on a rails project. so I am wondering is there a migrations like tool for Java? If there is no such tool is it a good idea to use migrations as a tool to control a database used by a Java project?

For a feature comparison between

  • Flyway
  • Liquibase
  • c5-db-migration
  • dbdeploy
  • mybatis
  • MIGRATEdb
  • migrate4j
  • dbmaintain
  • AutoPatch

have a look at http://flywaydb.org

This should be a good start for you and anyone else to select the right tool for the job
