diff JSON

Note: This is a Liquibase Pro feature, so you need a Liquibase Pro License Key to use it.

Starting with Liquibase 3.9.0, you can automate drift detection at scale in your database schemas with the Liquibase Pro machine-readable JSON diff output. The diff --format=json command is a Liquibase Pro extension to the Liquibase Open Source diff command.

Uses

The diff command in a JSON format is typically used to detect drift between a model schema and a database's actual schema. You can use the output of the diff command in a JSON format as an input to automation processes. For example, the results in a JSON diff can be parsed in your build system to trigger alerts, generate reports, or run the diff-changelog command.

After you run the command, a JSON-structured object lists the differences between the databases, as well as the values that are configured in your Liquibase properties or Maven POM file, or are passed as command-line arguments under the --url and --reference-url keys.

In Liquibase Pro 4.25.0 and later, you can use diff to seamlessly generate a Drift Report for your databases.

Syntax

Running the diff JSON command requires two URLs:

  • reference-url – the source for the comparison. The --reference-url attribute represents your source (reference) database, which is the basis for the database you want to compare.
  • url – the target of the comparison. The --url attribute represents your target database, which you want to compare to the source (reference) database. You typically perform actions and run commands on this database.

To compare two databases or schemas:

  • Option 1: Run the diff command with all necessary attributes in the CLI:
    • liquibase diff --format=json
--url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@<IP OR HOSTNAME>:<PORT>:<SERVICE NAME OR SID>"
--username=<USERNAME>
--password=<PASSWORD>
--reference-url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@<IP OR HOSTNAME>:<PORT>:<SERVICE NAME OR SID>"
--reference-username=<USERNAME>
--reference-password=<PASSWORD>

    Note: To run this command with an offline database snapshot, use the following pattern for the reference URL: --reference-url="offline:mysql?snapshot=SNAPSHOT_DEV.json".

    Tip: For best results, specify all commands and parameters in the --kebab-case format in the CLI. If your preference is camelCase, it also works in the CLI.

    See the snapshot command topic for an example of using a snapshot file as one of the databases being used in the command.

    Tip: Liquibase recommends that you place your database's JDBC driver JAR file in the $LIQUIBASE_HOME/lib directory. If you place the driver file in a different directory, specify the path in the properties file: classpath:../<path-to-drivers>/ojdbc<version>.jar. For more information, see Create and Configure a liquibase.properties File. When you run the diff command against two databases, either the drivers for both must be in the $LIQUIBASE_HOME/lib directory or the classpath property must reference both JAR files. Use the appropriate path separator for your operating system: for Windows, use a semicolon; for Mac or Linux, use a colon.

    Tip: $LIQUIBASE_HOME is an environment variable that points to the location of the directory where Liquibase is installed on your machine. You can set environment variables using your operating system's shell. The location of $LIQUIBASE_HOME will depend on where Liquibase was installed on your machine.

    Example: classpath: ojdbc7.jar:postgresql-42.2.8.jar

  • Option 2: Configure the Liquibase properties file to include the connection information for both databases. Then, run the following command in the CLI:
    • liquibase diff --format=json

    For information, see Create and Configure a liquibase.properties File.

By default, the result is sent to STDOUT, which provides flexibility to use the result in other tools or in a processing pipeline. You can also have your output in a file using the --output-file=<filename> attribute.

liquibase --output-file=myfile.json diff --format=json

The diff JSON command produces a list of categories along with one of the following descriptions:

  • Missing: there are objects on your source database (referenceURL) that are not on your target database (URL).
  • Unexpected: there are objects on your target database (URL) that are not on your source database (referenceURL).
  • Changed: the object as it exists on the source database (referenceURL) is different than as it exists in the target database (URL).

Note: The changed description will not specify the type of change applied to your database. Run the diff-changelog command to generate a changelog that will apply the changes to the target database.

Liquibase Pro diff JSON categories:

  • Check Constraint
  • Package
  • Package Body
  • Function
  • Trigger
  • Synonyms

Also, Liquibase Pro includes Liquibase Open Source diff categories when running --format=json:

  • Catalog
  • Column
  • Foreign Key
  • Index
  • Primary Key
  • Schema
  • Sequence
  • Procedure
  • Unique Constraints
  • View

Note: Liquibase does not currently check datatype length.

Filtering diff types

Liquibase allows you to use the diff-types attribute to filter the types of objects you want to compare. Multiple filters can be added to the attribute as a comma-separated list. If no diff-types are specified, all objects are considered.

Example: liquibase diff --format=json --diffTypes=tables,indexes,views

Command parameters

Attribute Definition Requirement

--reference-url=<string>

The JDBC reference database connection URL

 Required

--url=<string>

The JDBC database connection URL. See Using JDBC URL in Liquibase.

 Required

--default-catalog-name=<string>

Name of the default catalog to use for the database connection

 Optional

--default-schema-name=<string>

Name of the default schema to use for the database connection. If defaultSchemaName is set, then objects do not have to be fully qualified. This means you can refer to just mytable instead of myschema.mytable.

Note: In the properties file and JAVA_OPTS only: in 4.18.0 and earlier, specify this parameter using the syntax defaultSchemaName. In 4.19.0 and later, use the syntax liquibase.command.defaultSchemaName.

Note: In Liquibase 4.12.0 and later, you can use mixed-case schema names if you set --preserve-schema-case to true. However, in Liquibase 4.12.0–4.22.0, the Liquibase validator still throws a DatabaseException error if you specify a mixed-case value of defaultSchemaName. In 4.23.0 and later, the Liquibase validator accepts any casing.

 Optional
