Description
Revert and redeploy changes to the database. It's effectively a shortcut for running "sqitch revert" and
"sqitch deploy" in succession.
More specifically, starting from the current deployment state, changes will be reverted in reverse the
order of application. All changes will be reverted unless a change is specified, either via "--onto" or
with no option flag, in which case changes will be reverted back to that change. If nothing needs to be
reverted, a message will be emitted explaining why and nothing will be reverted.
Once the revert finishes, changes will be deployed starting from the deployed state through the rest of
the deployment plan. They will run to the latest change in the plan, unless a change is specified, either
via "--upto" or with no option flag, in which case changes will be deployed up-to and including that
change.
If the database has not been deployed to, or its state already matches the specified change, no reverts
will be run. And if, at that point, the database is up-to-date, no deploys will be run.
The "<database>" parameter specifies the database to which to connect, and may also be specified as the
"--target" option. It can be target name, a URI, an engine name, or plan file path.
Options
"-t"
"--target"
The target database to which to connect. This option can be either a URI or the name of a target in
the configuration.
"--onto-change"
"--onto"
Specify the reversion change. Defaults to reverting all changes. See sqitchchanges for the various
ways in which changes can be specified.
"--upto-change"
"--upto"
Specify the deployment change. Defaults to the last point in the plan. See sqitchchanges for the
various ways in which changes can be specified.
"-m"
"--modified"
Finds the change to revert onto based on modifications to deploy scripts. Reverts the change prior to
earliest change with a revised deploy script. Handy for quick rebases during iterative development
cycles.
"--mode"
Specify the reversion mode to use in case of deploy failure. Possible values are:
"all"
In the event of failure, revert all deployed changes, back to "--onto-change". This is the
default.
"tag"
In the event of failure, revert all deployed changes to the last successfully-applied tag. If no
tags were applied, all changes will be reverted to "--onto-change".
"change"
In the event of failure, no changes will be reverted. This is on the assumption that a change is
atomic, and thus may may be deployed again.
"--verify"
Verify each change by running its verify script, if there is one, immediate after deploying it. If a
verify test fails, the deploy will be considered to have failed and the appropriate reversion will be
carried out, depending on the value of "--mode".
"--no-verify"
Don't verify each change. This is the default.
"-s"
"--set"
Set a variable name and value for use by the database engine client, if it supports variables. The
format must be "name=value", e.g., "--set defuser='Homer Simpson'". Overrides any values loaded from
"configuration Variables".
"-e"
"--set-deploy"
Set a variable name and value for use by the database engine client when deploying, if it supports
variables. The format must be "name=value", e.g., "--set defuser='Homer Simpson'". Overrides any
values from "--set" or values loaded from "configuration Variables".
"-r"
"--set-revert"
Sets a variable name to be used by the database engine client during when reverting, if it supports
variables. The format must be "name=value", e.g., "--set defuser='Homer Simpson'". Overrides any
values from "--set" or values loaded from "configuration Variables".
"--log-only"
Log the changes as if they were deployed and reverted, but without actually running the deploy and
revert scripts.
"--lock-timeout"
sqitch rebase --lock-timeout 600
Set the number of seconds for Sqitch to wait to get an exclusive advisory lock on the target
database, for engines that support such a lock. This lock prevents other instances of Sqitch from
working on the target at the same time, but prevents no other database activity. Defaults to 60.
"-y"
Disable the prompt that normally asks whether or not to execute the revert.
"--registry"
sqitch rebase --registry registry
The name of the Sqitch registry schema or database in which sqitch stores its own data.
"--db-client"
"--client"
sqitch rebase --client /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql
Path to the command-line client for the database engine. Defaults to a client in the current path
named appropriately for the database engine.
"-d"
"--db-name"
sqitch rebase --db-name widgets
sqitch rebase -d bricolage
Name of the database. In general, targets and URIs are preferred, but this option can be used to
override the database name in a target.
"-u"
"--db-user"
"--db-username"
sqitch rebase --db-username root
sqitch rebase --db-user postgres
sqitch rebase -u Mom
User name to use when connecting to the database. Does not apply to all engines. In general, targets
and URIs are preferred, but this option can be used to override the user name in a target.
"-h"
"--db-host"
sqitch rebase --db-host db.example.com
sqitch rebase -h appdb.example.net
Host name to use when connecting to the database. Does not apply to all engines. In general, targets
and URIs are preferred, but this option can be used to override the host name in a target.
"-p"
"--db-port"
sqitch rebase --db-port 7654
sqitch rebase -p 5431
Port number to connect to. Does not apply to all engines. In general, targets and URIs are preferred,
but this option can be used to override the port in a target.
"--plan-file"
"-f"
sqitch rebase --plan-file my.plan
Path to the deployment plan file. Overrides target, engine, and core configuration values. Defaults
to $top_dir/sqitch.plan.
Configuration Variables
"[deploy.variables]"
"[revert.variables]"
A section defining database client variables. These variables are useful if your database engine
supports variables in scripts, such as PostgreSQL's "psql" variables
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html#APP-PSQL-INTERPOLATION>, Vertica's
"vsql" variables
<https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.1.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/ConnectingToHPVertica/vsql/Variables.htm>,
MySQL's user variables <https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/user-variables.html>, SQL*Plus's
"DEFINE" variables <https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch12017.htm>, and
Snowflake's SnowSQL variables <https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowsql-use.html#using-
variables>.
May be overridden by "--set", "--set-deploy", "--set-revert", or target and engine configuration.
Variables are merged in the following priority order:
"--set-revert"
Used only while reverting changes.
"--set-deploy"
Used only while deploying changes.
"--set"
Used while reverting and deploying changes.
"target.$target.variables"
Used while reverting and deploying changes.
"engine.$engine.variables"
Used while reverting and deploying changes.
"revert.variables"
Used only while reverting changes.
"deploy.variables"
Used while reverting and deploying changes.
"core.variables"
Used while reverting and deploying changes.
"rebase.verify"
"deploy.verify"
Boolean indicating whether or not to verify each change after deploying it.
"rebase.mode"
"deploy.mode"
Deploy mode. The supported values are the same as for the "--mode" option.
"[rebase.no_prompt]"
"[revert.no_prompt]"
A boolean value indicating whether or not to disable the prompt before executing the revert. The
"rebase.no_prompt" variable takes precedence over "revert.no_prompt", and both may of course be
overridden by "-y".
"[rebase.prompt_accept]"
"[revert.prompt_accept]"
A boolean value indicating whether default reply to the prompt before executing the revert should be
"yes" or "no". The "rebase.prompt_accept" variable takes precedence over "revert.prompt_accept", and
both default to true, meaning to accept the revert by default.
"[rebase.strict]"
"[revert.strict]"
A boolean value that, when true, disables the "revert" command. The "revert.strict" variable takes
precedence over "revert.strict".
