Ask HN: What tool(s) do you use to code review and deploy SQL scripts?
We use https://sqitch.org/ and we’re fairly happy with it. Sqitch manages the files to deploy which are applied fits to a local database.
We use GitHub actions for deployment and database migrations are just one step of the pipeline. The step invokes sqitch deploy which runs all the pending migration files.
Then, all the approval process is standard for the environment. We require approvals in pull requests before merging to the main branch.

PostgREST: Providing HTML Content Using Htmx
I'm experimenting with it right now using Squitch [1] to make maintenance easier. It still feels like a hack and I also still have my doubts about the viability of this for real-world use. It's fun though and I'm learning about all kinds of advanced Postgres features.

Modern Perl Catalyst: Docker Setup
For developing I find the official Perl docker images, running on a lightweight version of Debian, to be perfectly fine. Later on you might hand roll the skinniest possible image but the beauty of this setup is you can do that later and you don't need to change anything else. There's really not a lot going on here. First I declare the base image, which is as I said the official Perl image. I'm not using the latest Perl here because the application uses Sqitch for managing database migrations and that needs an update (there's a PR pending) to run on the most recent Perl so we'll just use a very nearly recent one instead. WORKDIR just defines where your application is installed. You can put it anywhere you want within reason. I like simple things so I use the most simple of all the conventions I've seen around.

Announcing codd - a tool to apply postgres SQL migrations
Some possible upsides of codd: - No need to manually write verification SQL. Codd will update schema representation files when you codd add some-migration.sql and will compare those to the actual schema when deploying (I'd say in ways which would be very hard to replicate manually, see an example of what codd checks, giving you the option to rollback if they don't match or proceed but log non-matching db objects. - It seems to be much simpler to set codd up. You need 3 env vars to start, a folder to store your migrations and a self-contained statically linked executable. Just codd add migration.sql your way in after that - This might be very wrong as I couldn't find it explicitly documented, but this GH issue suggests it's not so simple to apply all pending migrations in a single transaction with Sqitch? Maybe it requires some bundling or something along those lines and then it's fine, though. In any case, codd will do this automatically when you run codd up (provided postgresql allows it).

Ask HN: What tool(s) do you use to code review and deploy SQL scripts?
A regular code repo with the scripts (with pull/merge requests for review) and then a CI job that builds containers with something like dbmate https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate that can then be run against any staging/prod environment.

Level UP your RDBMS Productivity in GO
As we want to maintain the track of our changes to the DB, we are going to use migrations. In this case, we are going to use dbmate. But, you can use any other tool you want.

Rails 7.1 Released
> For example having database migrations built in etc.
I actually went the exact opposite route, at least when possible: https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate
Pure SQL migrations, regardless of the back end technology that you use, completely decoupled from how each framework/library views things and therefore not dependent on them (you could even rewrite the back end in another technology later on, if needed; or swap ORMs; or avoid issues when there's a major ORM version update).
It's really nice when you can generate entity mappings based on a live database, like with https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2022/01/31/entity-framewor...
So in my case, I can have:
* a DB that has migrations applied with dbmate, completely decoupled from any back end(s) that might use it

How do your teams run DB migrations?
You can run dbmate as part of your CI/CD pipeline. You just keep a dbmate directory in your repo and deploy migrations with your code.

Working with TypeORM 0.3x with Nestjs - I wasn't aware so many people were facing issues with it
In general with ORMs, you will face a problem in one way or another. I ended up simply using https://github.com/gajus/slonik and https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate for migrations. My life is way much better since then.

what do you use for migrations? or how do you the sql tables and seeding?
I like dbmate, super simple and straightforward to use. For your specific use case, it can also be configured using your .env!

New post: Is Prisma better than your 'traditional' ORM?
Would always go for a language agnostic migration tool, e.g. https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate to stay flexible and stay away from lock-in effects (besides sql).
- I greatly dislike ORMs, but I find myself wanting ORM agnostic SQL migration tools. What do you use to perform RDBMS table migrations outside of an ORM?
