DBVC
====

[](#dbvc)

The `dbvc` commandline tool allows you to manage your database schema updates in your version control (git) repository.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

DBVC looks for the `dbvc.json` configuration file.

```
{
  "db": {
    "driver": "mysql",
    "host": "localhost",
    "username": "root",
    "password": "open",
    "dbname": "foobar"
  },
  "datadir": "dev",
  "vcs": "none"
}

```

If `datadir` is omitted, it defaults to "dev". If `vcs` is omitted, the vcs is automatically determined.

### Supported database interfaces

[](#supported-database-interfaces)

- mysql

You may [issue a feature request](https://github.com/jasny/dbvc/issues) to support other DBMSs.

### Supported version control systems

[](#supported-version-control-systems)

- git
- none

You may [issue a feature request](https://github.com/jasny/dbvc/issues) to support other VCSs.

When using git, the correct order of the updates is automatically found by examining the git log.

When selecting vcs 'none', updates are run in [natural order](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.natsort.php). It's up to you to prefix the update files with (for instance) a date, to make sure that run in the correct order
