Migrator: system properties via command line.
Hi all guys, I'm using migrator and I think that is a beautiful tool. In my
company we use migrator into a team of 10 person, each developer has its own
database. Into scm we have committed only two files: prod.properties (for
production environment) and developer.properties (for dev environment) So
each developer have to modify the developer.properties file with you
personal information. My little idea is this: add a new migrator command
line argument that overwrites "on the fly" any properties like this:
migrate -Dusername=bob -Dpassword=superSecret -DotherProp=value up
what do you think about this? If you think it's a good idea, I'd like to
implement this features.
thank a lot.
best regards

Hi Clinton,
That sounds great, I don't know the migrator but the topic reminded me
what I usually do with Maven, that's exactly what you suggested.
Thanks a lot
Simo

This was the purpose behind the environments. Each developer could have
their own environment file, perhaps by their username. You could ignore such
files from your version control system.
This way, no matter how many properties differ, you can just specify the
environment like:
migrate --env=cbegin status
Which is shorter than even one of your properties above.

Hi all guys, ciao Marco,
I'd suggest to add profiles support instead of managing n different
properties, developers write once their local *.properties and are
free to switch from a profile to another.
