A SQL schema migration tool for Go, usable both as a standalone CLI and as a library. It supports SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, and Oracle, with atomic, up/down SQL migrations that can be embedded into applications.

Use cases

• manage database schema migrations in a Go project
• run up and down SQL migrations from the command line
• embed SQL migrations into a Go application binary
• roll back the last applied database migration
• check the migration status of a database
• support multiple database types in one project

When to choose

• you write migrations in plain SQL and want full flexibility
• you need a Go library to run migrations programmatically at startup
• you want atomic migrations with rollback support
• you need to support several database dialects in one project

When to avoid

• you prefer writing migrations in Go code rather than SQL
• you need a migration tool for a non-Go stack
• you want declarative or automatic schema diffing rather than hand-written migrations
