I recently discovered a mildly annoying bug in Sqitch, the Git-inspired database schema change management app I’ve been working on for the past year. One of its key features is the ability to “rework” changes. For example, if you have a change that defines a function change_password(), and discover sometime after release that it has a bug (maybe the hashing algorithm is too weak), you can “rework” it – essentially modify it in place – and save some headaches. Check out the “In Place Changes” section of the (PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, or MySQL (coming soon) tutorials for detailed examples of how it works.
