Get Started with Liquibase 4.33

This tutorial is intended for developers setting up Liquibase for the first time. It walks you through installing Liquibase and exploring its basic functionality using the built-in sandbox. The sandbox includes a packaged H2 database and pre-made changelog files so you can practice running Liquibase commands immediately.

Add a Changeset to the Changelog

Now that you have set up your Liquibase example project, you can set add a changeset to the changelog.

Phase 3 of 4: Add a changeset

Using a text editor open the example-changelog file and add the following changeset to the end of the file.

--changeset your.name:4
ALTER TABLE person ADD nickname varchar(30);

--changeset your.name:4
ALTER TABLE person ADD nickname varchar(30);

Save and close example-changelog.

Enter the following command.

liquibase update

Liquibase displays the following output:

Running Changeset: example-changelog.yaml::4::your.name Liquibase command 'update' was executed successfully.

Confirm the update by refreshing the database console and verifying that the NICKNAME column has been added to the PERSON table.
