Procedure

These steps describe how to create the Custom Policy Check. It does not exist by default in Liquibase Secure.

Run this command in the CLI:

liquibase checks customize --check-name=SqlUserDefinedPatternCheck

Give your check a short name for easy identification

Use up to 64 alpha-numeric characters only.

In this example we will use:

viewsMustHaveCreateReplaceViewOnly

Set the Severity to return a code of 0-4 when triggered.

These severity codes allow you to determine if the job moves forward or stops when this check triggers. Learn more here: Use Policy Checks in Automation: Severity and Exit Code options: 'INFO'=0, 'MINOR'=1, 'MAJOR'=2, 'CRITICAL'=3, 'BLOCKER'=4

Set the SEARCH_STRING to this valid regular expression:

Regular expression search string

(?is)^((?!create\s*or\s*replace\s*view).)*$

Set the MESSAGE to display when a match for the regular expression <SEARCH_STRING> is found in a Changeset.

In this example we will use:

Views must have CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW statement.

Set STRIP_COMMENTS to true if you want to remove the comments from the output.

Set 'PATH_FILTER_REGEX':

Regular expression search string

Views\/.*
