releaseLocks command

releaseLocks removes the specific Liquibase lock record from the DATABASECHANGELOGLOCK table table in the needed database.

Uses

releaseLocks is typically used when there was an interruption with the Liquibase process during deployment resulting from the DATABASECHANGELOGLOCK table being in a locked state.

Running the releaseLocks command

To run the releaseLocks command, you can specify the driver, classpath, and URL in your liquibase.properties file. You can also specify these properties in your command line.

Then run the releaseLocks command:

liquibase --changeLogFile=mainchangelog.xml releaseLocks

Note: Enter the name of the changelog you want to use in place of mainchangelog.xml. You can also add the changeLogFile to your liquibase.properties file.
