Synchronize Schema
This feature is in beta and only available for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Synchronize Schema for MySQL currently supports synchronizing Table, Index, Constraint, View, Event, Trigger, and Function objects.
Synchronize Schema for PostgreSQL currently supports synchronizing Schema, Table, Index, Constraint, Sequence, Extension, Function, Trigger, and Enum Type objects.
Bytebase supports synchronizing a specified schema version of one database to another. To provide a better user experience, Bytebase displays the schema differences between the two selected databases and generates the suggested DDL statements (e.g. ALTER TABLE).
How to use
The entry of Sync Schema is in the quick action button group on the home page and project detail page. After clicking, you will see the following dialog.
Step 1 - Select project
Step 2 - Select schema version
The schema version is selected from the database's migration history.
In the Enterprise Plan, you can select an arbitrary schema version from the migration history. In other plans, you can only select the latest schema version.
Step 3 - Apply to database
Select the database that will be synchronized with the chosen schema version in the previous step.
After you have selected a schema and database, Bytebase will show a schema diff between the two databases and generate the DDL statements. And you can further edit the generated content.
Step 4 - Preview issue
With the generated DDL statements, you can preview and create an "Alter Schema" issue. This kicks off the change workflow for the applied database.
