Get Started with Liquibase 4.33
You've completed the Liquibase try it out sandbox! In this tutorial, you:
Installed Liquibase.
Set up a Liquibase project.
Added a Changeset to the Changelog.
Celebrate and explore
Now that you've tried out Liquibase, it's time to set up your implementation for your specific database. You'll want to head over to our implementation guide for specific guidance on how to set up your Liquibase implementation.
Phase 4 of 4: Celebrate and Explore
It's time to set up Liquibase for your specific implementation needs.
Create a Liquibase Project.
In this tutorial, we copied and pasted a premade Liquibase project from the Liquibase installation, but for your long-term Liquibase implementation, you'll want to set up your Liquibase project.
(Optional) Generate your changelog from an existing database.
If you already have a working database and want to start managing it with Liquibase, the first step is to generate a changelog that captures the current state of your schema. This allows you to bring Liquibase into your existing project without disrupting your database or rebuilding anything from scratch. If you don't already have a database, you can start creating your changelogs from the example changelog created when you set up your project.
Connect your database.
Liquibase supports a wide range of databases. Our integration guide describes the many databases Liquibase supports and how to connect your database.
Set up your changelog structure
Once you have your first changelog(s), you'll want to think about how you want to set up your chanelog structure. You can then connect your changelogs using include or includeall.
Set up Liquibase for multiple environments.
In real-world projects, you’ll often work with several database environments, such as development, testing, staging, and production. Liquibase gives you tools to apply database changes safely and selectively across these environments.
