We already have Flyway. What would this one bring to the plate?

Hi,

we have lot of JEE applications using the liquibase tool to manage the database changes. We would like to move to the quarkus and also minimize the migration effort and keep the liquibase tool.

I managed to build the liquibase in the native image (it is crazy project) with a postgresql driver. https://github.com/1000kit/liquibase
I believe it should be possible to write the liquibase quarkus extension.

We are happy to contribute to this extension.

@gsmet Liquibase has an abstraction layer so you can express migrations at a higher level which then gets converted into specific dialect so nicer to use if targeting multiple databases (like h2 for dev and postgresql for prod). Flyway is more "tuneable" but less generic so I say its worth getting both supported.

@andrejpetras contribution will be welcome! lets see what we can make happen!

btw. looks like https://www.baeldung.com/quarkus-extension-java have a good start - i haven't tested if it works :)

[andrejpetras]

I am back on the quarkus track ;) If nobody picked up this issue then please assign it to me, I will prepare the PR for it

[maxandersen]

@andrejpetras there you go - looking forward to it :)
