tag <tag string>
command
The tag <tag string>
command marks the current database state so you can roll back changes in the future.
Uses
The tag <tag string>
command is typically used to mark the current database state, version, release, or any other information by adding the tag to the last row in the DATABASECHANGELOG table. After setting the tag, you can use the rollback <tag>
command to roll back all changes under this tag.
The image below shows the DATABASECHANGELOG table structure. Running the command tag version1
applies the tag version1
to the last row in the DATABASECHANGELOG table. If you run rollback version1
command, it will roll back only createTable C
value.
Note: It is best practice to tag your changesets before running any other commands against your database.
Running the tag <tag string>
command
To run the tag <tag string>
command, you can specify the driver, classpath, and URL in your liquibase.properties
file. For more information, see Creating and configuring a liquibase.properties file. You can also specify these properties in your command line.
Then run the tag <tag string>
command:
liquibase tag version1
Note: Enter the name of the tag that you want to use in place of version1
. You don't need to specify the changelog file because the command marks the last row inserted in the DATABASECHANGELOG table regardless of what changelog file is specified.
