`rollback-one-changeset`

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

The rollback-one-changeset command reverts (rolls back) one non-sequential changeset made during a previous change to your database. It is only available for Liquibase Pro users.

Uses

The rollback-one-changeset command is typically used when you want to undo a change made to your database and revert it to a previous state without affecting any other changes made to your database.

While the rollback command reverts all changesets deployed sequentially to a specified point by using rollbackDate, rollback-count, or rollback <tag_name>, the rollback-one-changeset command allows you to target a specific changeset without impacting changesets that came before or after it.

The image above shows changesets A through I, with changeset I being the most recently deployed. As you can see, the rollback-one-changeset command allows you to target changeset B and revert it to its previous state without impacting the others.

In Liquibase Pro 4.27.0 and later, you can automatically generate a database Rollback Report summarizing this command.

Impact

Like any targeted tool, using the rollback-one-changeset command comes with risks of unintended consequences. Because of this, the command requires a --force flag to indicate that you intend to run it.

Warning: Look for potential unintended consequences before using this command.

It is a best practice to run the rollback-one-changeset-sql command because it allows you to inspect the rollback SQL and search for any potential mistakes before you execute rollback-one-changeset.

Syntax

Before running the rollback-one-changeset command, gather the following information from your DATABASECHANGELOG table or by running the history command:

The author of the changeset you want to revert
The ID of the changeset you want to revert
The file path and name of the changeset you want to revert

Then run the rollback-one-changeset command, with your information:

liquibase rollback-one-changeset --changelog-file=example-changelog.xml --changeset-author="LiquibaseProUser" --changeset-id="createProc-proschema" --changeset-path=changelog.xml --force

For more command-specific help, type liquibase rollback-one-changeset --help into the command prompt.

Parameters

Global parameters

Attribute	Definition	Requirement
`--license-key=<string>`	Your Liquibase Pro license key	Required

Command parameters

Attribute	Definition	Requirement
`--changelog-file=<string>`	The root changelog	Required
`--changeset-author=<string>`	The name of the author for the changeset. Supports `*` as a wildcard.	Required
`--changeset-id=<string>`	The changeset ID from the changelog.	Required
`--changeset-path=<string>`	The path to the changelog containing the changeset you want to target. For example, you may have a root changelog (`root.sql`) and a child changelog (`child.sql`). To target a specific changeset in `child.sql`, specify `--changeset-path=child.sql`. If `root.sql` uses `include`, `includeAll`, or `sqlFile` to reference `child.sql`, you must also specify `--changelog-file=root.sql` (file and path are different). If `root.sql` does not reference `child.sql`, you must also specify `--changelog-file=child.sql` (file and path are the same). If you only have one changelog, then `--changelog-file` and `--changeset-path` must also be the same.	Required
`--force=<true\|false>`	A required parameter which indicates you intend to use this feature. If you specify `--force` or `--force=true`, the command executes. If you omit the parameter or specify `--force=false`, the command does not execute. Default: `false`.	Required
`--url=<string>`	The JDBC database connection URL. See Using JDBC URL in Liquibase.	Required
`--change-exec-listener-class=<string>`	Fully-qualified class which specifies a `ChangeExecListener`. For more information, see Implementing a Custom ChangeExecListener Class with Liquibase and ChangeExecListenerCommandStep.	Optional
`--change-exec-listener-properties-file=<string>`	Path to a properties file for the `ChangeExecListener` class. For more information, see Implementing a Custom ChangeExecListener Class with Liquibase and ChangeExecListenerCommandStep.	Optional
`--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
`--driver=<string>`	The JDBC driver class	Optional
`--driver-properties-file=<string>`	The JDBC driver properties file	Optional
`--password=<string>`	Password to connect to the target database. Tip: It is a best practice to store sensitive data in a Secrets Management tool with Liquibase Pro.	Optional
`--report-enabled=<true\|false>`	Enables a report at the command level. Overrides the global parameter `--reports-enabled`. Default: `true`.	Optional
`--report-name=<string>`	Specifies the name of the report file at the command level. Overrides the global parameter `--reports-name`. By default, Liquibase generates a new report file labeled with a timestamp (user's local time). If you set a custom name, Liquibase overwrites the existing file every time you generate a new report. Default: `report-<DD-Mon-YYYY-HHmmss>.html`.	Optional
`--report-path=<string>`	Specifies the file path to the report file at the command level. Overrides the global parameter `--reports-path`. Default: `./`.	Optional
`--report-suppress-exception=<true\|false>`	Liquibase 4.31.0+. Specifies whether to hide exceptions (which may contain SQL) from the operation report at the command level. Overrides the global parameter `--reports-suppress-exception`. Default: `false`. However: If `--report-suppress-exception` is not set and `--report-suppress-sql=true`, Liquibase suppresses all SQL, including exception SQL. If `--report-suppress-exception=false` and `--report-suppress-sql=true`, Liquibase suppresses most SQL but shows exception SQL.	Optional
`--report-suppress-sql=<true\|false>`	Liquibase 4.31.0+. Specifies whether to hide changeset SQL in operation reports at the command level. Overridden by the global parameter `--reports-suppress-sql`. Default: `false`.	Optional
`--rollback-script=<string>`	The path to the script to use to perform the rollback. Only needed if the rollback is not already defined in the changelog, and if it is not a rollback statement that is automatically generated by Liquibase.	Optional *
`--username=<string>`	Username to connect to the target database. Tip: It is a best practice to store sensitive data in a Secrets Management tool with Liquibase Pro.	Optional

`LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_PASSWORD=<string>` `LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_ROLLBACK_ONE_CHANGESET_PASSWORD=<string>`	Password to connect to the target database. Tip: It is a best practice to store sensitive data in a Secrets Management tool with Liquibase Pro.	Optional
`LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_REPORT_ENABLED=<true\|false>` `LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_ROLLBACK_ONE_CHANGESET_REPORT_ENABLED=<true\|false>`	Enables a report at the command level. Overrides the global parameter `--reports-enabled`. Default: `true`.	Optional
`LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_REPORT_NAME=<string>` `LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_ROLLBACK_ONE_CHANGESET_REPORT_NAME=<string>`	Specifies the name of the report file at the command level. Overrides the global parameter `--reports-name`. By default, Liquibase generates a new report file labeled with a timestamp (user's local time).

However: If `--report-suppress-exception` is not set and `--report-suppress-sql=true`, Liquibase suppresses all SQL, including exception SQL.

`LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_ROLLBACK_SCRIPT=<string>` `LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_ROLLBACK_ONE_CHANGESET_ROLLBACK_SCRIPT=<string>`	The path to the script to use to perform the rollback. Only needed if the rollback is not already defined in the changelog, and if it is not a rollback statement that is automatically generated by Liquibase.	Optional *
`LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_USERNAME=<string>` `LIQUIBASE_COMMAND_ROLLBACK_ONE_CHANGESET_USERNAME=<string>`	Username to connect to the target database. Tip: It is a best practice to store sensitive data in a Secrets Management tool with Liquibase Pro.	Optional
