HOW TO SETUP #

USE THIS INSTALL GUIDE AND IGNORE THE INSTALL PAGE!!! Curently this is a stand alone app!

1.Download dartabase_migration somewhere on your drive and run 'Pub Get' on dartabase_migration/pubspec.yaml

2.Execute dartabase_migration/bin/dbInit.dart to initiate the dartabase_migration tool for your project.

3.follow the instructions
  *enter a project name
  *enter path to project root folder

4.dartabase_migration will create files and folders needed for dartabase_migration to do its magic
  *dartabase_migration/bin/projectsMapping.json       #maps project names to absolute project path
  *$yourProjectName/db/
  *$yourProjectName/db/config.json          #setting dartabase_migration information needed to connect IP/PORT/DBType
  *$yourProjectName/db/schema.json          #current dartabase_migration structure as JSON used by Dartabase tools
  *$yourProjectName/db/schemaVersion.json   #file safes name of latest migrated version
  *$yourProjectName/db/migrations           #folder for your database migration files

5.Edit the *$yourProjectName/db/config.json file 
  so dartabase_migration can connect to your existing database.

eg.
--------config.json---------
{
    "adapter": "MySQL",
    "database": "dbName",
    "username": "dbUsername",
    "password": "dbPassword",
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": "3306"
}
----------------------------

for postgresql use

"adapter": "PGSQL"    (all capital)

HOW TO UPDATE DARTABASE MIGRATION #

just download the new version of dartabase migration 
and replace all files from your current running version
it is important to keep 'dartabase_migration/bin/projectsMapping.json' 
but since this file will be autogenerated only on initiation of dartabase migration there should not be a problem

LOST 'projectsMapping.json' 
	DONT PAN!C 
	  simply create a file named projectsMapping.json inside 'dartabase_migration/bin/'
	  
	  inside the file enter a json key value pair of a projectname of your choice
	  
        keys    : project_names (your choice/short is good ;)
        values  : project absolute project path
	  
	  eg.
	  {
	     "mysql":"C:\\myServer",
	     "pgsql":"C:\\pgServer"
	  }

MOVED/RENAMED project
	  Just rename the values when moving/renaming one of your projects
	  
	  now you should be able to find your projects again when running dbUp.dart or dbDown.dart

HOW TO CREATE MIGRATIONS #

Either

1a.execute dartabase_migration/bin/createMigration.dart and follow the instructions
	*enter project name
	*enter migration name eg. "create_table_user"

it will create a dummy migration inside

"$yourProjectName/db/migrations/YYYYMMTTHHMMSS_create_table_user" 

or

1b.Create a migration json file "timestamp_action.json" 

    inside "$yourProjectName/db/migrations"

    eg. "$yourProjectName/db/migrations/20130709134700_create_table_user.json"

2.inside your migration file you have a fixed structure!

a JSON object with a key "UP" and a json object value

to use migrations you can specify 4 keys/actions inside the "UP" value

    createTable
    -----------
    "createTable" key takes a json object as value

        keys    : non_existent_table_names
        values  : json object
                    keys    : non_existent_column_names
                    values  : dartabase_mapped_datatypes

        eg.
        "createTable": {
            "new_table_name_one": {
                "new_column_name": "DATATYPE"
            }
        }

    createColumn
    ------------
    "createColumn" key takes a json object as value

        keys    : existing_table_names
        values  : json object
                    keys    : non_existent_column_names
                    values  : dartabase_mapped_datatypes

        eg.
        "createColumn": {
            "existing_table_name_one": {
                "new_column_name": "DATATYPE"
            }
        }

    removeColumn
    ------------
    "removeColumn" key takes a json object as value

        keys    : existing_table_names
        values  : array[existing_column_names]

        eg.
        "removeColumn": {
            "existing_table_name_one": ["existing_column_name_one"]
        }

    removeTable
    -----------
    "removeTable" key takes array of existing_table_names

        eg.
        "removeTable": ["existing_table_name_one"]

    A simple migration could look like

    ----------20130709134700_create_table_user.json--------------
    {
        "UP": {
            "createTable": {
                "user": {
                    "name": "VARCHAR"
                }
            }
        },
        "DOWN": {
            "removeTable": ["user"]
        }
    }

We create a table name "user" with column "name" and datatype variable length of characters

COLUMN ID #

The 'id' column will be autogenerated by 'Dartabase Migration' for every table as primary key, 
so dont add 'id' in any of the migration files.
This is to pass 'Dartabase Model' the work of deciding when to create or update an Object * 
*see http://pub.dartlang.org/packages/dartabase_model   	

V>=0.2.0
if you had already created a migration file with a comuln 'id' in version < 0.2.0 
simply remove the entry for 'id' from all your migration file UP and DOWN keys 

COLUMN CREATED/UPDATED #

For each table a created_at and updated_at column will be generated automatically.

created_at 
  will only be set to current datetime on creation of table row entry 

updated_at 
  will be set to current datetime on creation of table row entry
  PGSQL
    will be updated when the row has been saved
  MySQL
    will be updated when the row has been saved and a value of the row changed 

UP AND DOWN #

Additionally to the "UP" key you can specify all actions inside the "DOWN" key

actions inside "UP" are executed during migration
actions inside "DOWN" are executed when reverting migrations

since we created a table named "user", we might want to remove it once we want to revert the migration

!!!ATTENTION be sure your don't need the data inside a table/column before you remove it!!!

ORDER OF EXECUTION #

Once you have more than one action in the migration file

eg.
  adding a column
  adding a table
  removing a column

remember that the order of execution inside a migration will be

createTable
    ->
    createColumn
        ->
        removeColumn
            ->
            removeTable

but I cant think of a feasible example where that might bring up problems.


HOW TO RUN MIGRATIONS #

1.Execute dartabase_migration/bin/dbUp.dart

2.Follow instructions in console
    *enter project name
    *enter goal migration version

dartabase_migration should have executed the actions specified inside the "UP" key
for all files INCLUDING the goal migration version.

Additionally it will update

    *$yourProjectName/db/schema.json
    with the current database structure as JSON

    *$yourProjectName/db/schemaVersion.json
    with the name of latest migrated migration file

HOW TO REVERT MIGRATIONS #

1.Execute dartabase_migration/bin/dbDown.dart to execute the dartabase_migration actions you specified inside the "DOWN" key.

2.Follow instructions in console
    *enter project name
    *enter goal migration version 

dartabase_migration should have executed the actions specified inside the "DOWN" key
for all files EXCLUDING the goal migration version.

Additionally it will update

    *$yourProjectName/db/schema.json
    with the current database structure as JSON

    *$yourProjectName/db/schemaVersion.json
    with the name of latest migrated migration file

}

ENDING #

Currently you need to manually stop the scripts from the editor or console after they are done.

Once it has stoped printing output and there have been no errors, it should be done.


Now you can add migration files for simple database manipulation

TODO #

*fix async outputtext
*workarround for database problems with reserved words when switching DBAdapter from PG to MY.
    eg. table name 'user' will break in MySQL
    fix -> add '_' as prefix to column and table name
*test on other systems
*adding rename action
*adding option to specify variable length
    currently VARCHAR fix at 255
*test functionality of all data types
*improvements, adapt more functionality from db connectors
*and much more
*end scripts automatically 

Please let me know about bugs you find and or improvements/features you would like to see in future.

ENJOY & BE NICE ;)
