What support does Liquibase have for MySQL?

Last updated: August 12, 2026

MySQL is a fast, multi-user SQL database service. MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems and embedding into mass-deployed software. For more information, see the MySQL documentation page.

When you run a command like generate-changelog or snapshot-reference, Liquibase maps data from your database onto the Liquibase output, like the data type of a column.

By default, Boolean types in MySQL map to TINYINT(1):

In Liquibase 4.23.2 and earlier, Liquibase maps Boolean types to BIT by default.
In Liquibase 4.24.0 and 4.25.0, Liquibase maps Boolean types to TINYINT(1) by default.
In Liquibase 4.25.1, Liquibase maps Boolean types to TINYINT (without length) by default.
In Liquibase 4.26.0 and later, Liquibase maps Boolean types to TINYINT(1) by default.

For more information, see Liquibase Data Type Handling.
