LiquiBase is an open source, DBMS-independent library for manage database changes and refactorings.
Structure and data changes are stored XML files located in version control with other source code.

Its features include the support for merging of changes from multiple developers, a Database Refactoring IDE-Plugin, support for rolling back changes, and the ability to create DIFFs from which it can generate logs.
LiquiBase supports the following databases: MySQL, Postgre SQL, MS-SQL, Sybase, DB2, Apache Serby, HSQL, H2 and InterSystems Cache.
In case of using LiquiBase with an unsupported database, the problem that could interfere if it won’t succeed running is that it could not determine the correct date/time function.
If this happens it can be passed to the currentDateTimeFunction argument that will override the function used in SQL.
What the new version LiquiBase 2.1 brings new are the support for H2 database, InterSystems Cache database and
LiquiBase can be downloaded or upgraded by simply replacing the liquibase.jar file.
XSD declaration has to be changed with the following code:
xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
schemalocation="http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog/1.2
http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog/dbchangelog-1.2.xsd";>
