How to create a database with flyway?

Question

Question: Is it possible to create a new DB in a migration script and then connect to it? How?

My Scenario: I\'m trying to use flyw

Answer 1

If u have schema database creation command in V1 of your scripts, flyway can generate it but not database:

flyway -baselineOnMigrate=true -url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/ -schemas=test_db -user=root -password=root_pass -locations=filesystem:/path/to/scrips/ migrate

and similar to this in the script file:

DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS `test_db` ;
CREATE SCHEMA `test_db` COLLATE utf8_general_ci ;
