Overview
Flyway is an open-source database migration tool. It strongly favors simplicity and convention over configuration.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) will teach how to configure and run flyway to build a migration pipeline in SQL. Database-specific syntax such as PL/SQL and T-SQL are supported, as well as Java (for advanced data transformations or for dealing with LOBs). Practical scenarios will help to understand real-world usages.
