Overview

The Migration class describes a database migration that can be reversed. The migration looks very similar to ActiveRecord (Rails) migrations, e.g.:

class CreateSessions < Sequel::Migration
  def up
    create_table :sessions do
      primary_key :id
      varchar   :session_id, :size => 32, :unique => true
      timestamp :created_at
      text      :data
    end
  end

  def down
    # You can use raw SQL if you need to
    self << 'DROP TABLE sessions'
  end
end

class AlterItems < Sequel::Migration
  def up
    alter_table :items do
      add_column :category, :text, :default => 'ruby'
    end
  end

  def down
    alter_table :items do
      drop_column :category
    end  
  end
end

To apply a migration to a database, you can invoke the #apply with the target database instance and the direction :up or :down, e.g.:

DB = Sequel.open ('sqlite://mydb')
CreateSessions.apply(DB, :up)

See Sequel::Schema::Generator for the syntax to use for creating tables, and Sequel::Schema::AlterTableGenerator for the syntax to use when altering existing tables. Migrations act as a proxy for the database given in #apply, so inside #down and #up, you can act as though self refers to the database. So you can use any of the Sequel::Database instance methods directly.
