NAntTask

Example

This setup allows you to optionally pass a version number to the migrate task. If the version number is lower than the current DB version then the Down() targets will be run to undo database changes. If the version number is higher than the current DB version then the Up() targets will be run to migrate the database to the version specified.

<loadtasks assembly="/Migrator.NAnt.dll" />
<target name="migrate" description="Migrate the database" depends="build">
  <property name="version" value="-1" overwrite="false" />
  <migrate
    provider="MySql|PostgreSQL|SqlServer"
    connectionstring="Database=MyDB;Data Source=localhost;User Id=;Password=;"
    migrations="bin/MyProject.dll"
    to="${version}" />
</target>

To run this target

nant migrate

To run the migrations to a specific version you can pass the version property

nant migrate -D:version=5

Compiling Migrations on the Fly

Rather than specifying a pre-compiled DLL with your migrations, you can just specify a directory that contains all the code. The migrations will then be compiled "on the fly" and executed.

The default language to use is CSharp. If you want to use a different language pass a language parameter as well.

<loadtasks assembly="/Migrator.NAnt.dll" />
<target name="migrate" description="Migrate the database" depends="build">
  <property name="version" value="-1" overwrite="false" />
  <migrate
    provider="MySql|PostgreSQL|SqlServer"
    connectionstring="Database=MyDB;Data Source=localhost;User Id=;Password=;"
    directory="migrations"
    to="${version}" />
</target>

Outputing Generated SQL Statements

To save all of the generated SQL Statements that Migrator.Net runs against your database add a scriptFile attribute.

<loadtasks assembly="/Migrator.NAnt.dll" />
<target name="migrate" description="Migrate the database" depends="build">
  <property name="version" value="-1" overwrite="false" />
  <migrate
    provider="MySql|PostgreSQL|SqlServer"
    connectionstring="Database=MyDB;Data Source=localhost;User Id=;Password=;"
    directory="migrations"
    to="${version}" 
    scriptFile="migrations.sql"/>
</target>

See the example/example-nant.build for a working example.
