Liquibase - how to generate a changelog for existing database

Question

I\'m trying to use liquibase for generating the changeLog, starting by snapshoting the current state of my database.

Environment details:

• OS: Windows 7

Answer 1

I had faced similar issue when generating changelog xml for postgresql database. I'm posting here if it can help someone. I had to specify --defaultSchemaName in addition to the above params. So in mysql you will have similar option:

The final command will look like :

liquibase --driver=org.postgresql.Driver --changeLogFile=db.changelog.xml  --classpath=postgresql-9.4-1201-jdbc41.jar --url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/wms"  --username=<USER_NAME> --password=<PASSWD> --defaultSchemaName=<SCHEMA_NAME> generateChangeLog   

Answer 2

Just specify the database name with the --url flag like ZNK said:

  --url="jdbc:mysql://mysql.mysite.com/database_name_here"
