Liquibase Change Types

Liquibase ships with a large number of changes that can be applied to your database as well as the ability to write more through the extension system.

Notes

• Property values are string unless otherwise noted.
• Boolean parameters are defaulted to false unless otherwise noted.
• Some change types automatically create rollback statements when you run rollback commands. For more information, see Liquibase Rollback Workflow and Auto Rollback.
