Description

Manage the set of databases ("targets") you deploy to. Each target may have a number of properties:

"uri"

The database connection URI for the target. Required. Its format is:

  db:engine:[dbname]
  db:engine:[//[user[:password]@][host][:port]/][dbname][?params][#fragment]

Some examples:

"db:sqlite:widgets.db"
"db:pg://dba@example.net/blanket"
"db:mysql://db.example.com/"
"db:firebird://localhost//tmp/test.fdb"

See the DB URI Draft <https://github.com/libwww-perl/uri-db> for details.

"registry": The name of the registry schema or database. The default is "sqitch".
"client": The command-line client to use. If not specified, each engine looks in the OS Path for an appropriate client.
"top_dir": The path to the top directory for the target. This directory generally contains the plan file and subdirectories for deploy, revert, and verify scripts, as well as reworked instances of those scripts. The default is ., the current directory.
"plan_file": The plan file to use for this target. The default is "$top_dir/sqitch.plan".
"deploy_dir": The path to the deploy directory for the target. This directory contains all of the deploy scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is "$top_dir/deploy".
"revert_dir": The path to the revert directory for the target. This directory contains all of the revert scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is "$top_dir/revert".
"verify_dir": The path to the verify directory for the target. This directory contains all of the verify scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is "$top_dir/verify".
"reworked_dir": The path to the reworked directory for the target. This directory contains all subdirectories for all reworked scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is $top_dir.
"reworked_deploy_dir": The path to the reworked deploy directory for the target. This directory contains all of the reworked deploy scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is "$reworked_dir/deploy".
"reworked_revert_dir": The path to the reworked revert directory for the target. This directory contains all of the reworked revert scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is "$reworked_dir/revert".
"reworked_verify_dir": The path to the reworked verify directory for the target. This directory contains all of the reworked verify scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is "$reworked_dir/verify".
"extension": The file name extension to append to change names to create script file names. The default is "sql".

Each of these overrides the corresponding engine-specific configuration managed by engine.
