Liquibase Database Tutorials: Community-Maintained

Learn how to use Liquibase for your favorite databases with our in-depth tutorials. These tutorials explain how to install and configure your database with Liquibase.

Verification levels

Liquibase works with 60+ databases including relational, NoSQL, and graph databases.

A database's verification level refers to the levels of automated and real-world professional testing and certification it has passed. The levels in order of most to least validation are: Advanced, Foundational, Contributed, and Research.

For more information, see Database Verification Levels.

Community-maintained databases

For the full list of supported databases, see Supported Databases. Liquibase supports English language databases only. Other languages with special characters may have issues.

Note

Liquibase-maintained databases can be found here: Liquibase-maintained databases.
