sqitch-target - Manage target database configuration 

  sqitch target
  sqitch target [-v | --verbose]
  sqitch target add <name> <uri> [-s <property>=<value> ...]
  sqitch target alter <name> [-s <property>=<value> ...]
  sqitch target remove <name>
  sqitch target rename <old> <new>
  sqitch target show <name> [...]

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/theory/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.

List Option
"-v"
"--verbose"
  sqitch engine --verbose

Be more verbose when listing engines.

Add and Alter Options
"--uri"
  sqitch target add devwidgets --uri db:pg:widgets

Specifies the URI <https://github.com/theory/uri-db/> of the target database.

"--top-dir"
  sqitch target add devwidgets --top-dir sql

Specifies the top directory to use for the target. Typically contains the deployment plan file and the change script directories.

"--plan-file"
  sqitch target add devwidgets --plan-file my.plan

Specifies the path to the deployment plan file. Defaults to "$top_dir/sqitch.plan".

"--extension"
  sqitch target add devwidgets --extension ddl

Specifies the file name extension to use for change script file names. Defaults to "sql".

"--dir"
  sqitch target add devwidgets --dir deploy=dep --dir revert=rev --dir verify=tst

Sets the path to a script directory. May be specified multiple times. Supported keys are:

  • "deploy"
  • "revert"
  • "verify"
  • "reworked"
  • "reworked_deploy"
  • "reworked_revert"
  • "reworked_verify"
"--registry"
  sqitch target add devwidgets --registry meta

Specifies the name of the database object where Sqitch's state and history data is stored. Typically a schema name (as in PostgreSQL and Oracle) or a database name (as in SQLite and MySQL). Defaults to "sqitch".

"--client"
  sqitch target add devwidgets --client /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql

Specifies the path to the command-line client for the target. Defaults to a client in the current path named appropriately for the engine specified by the URI.

With no arguments, shows a list of existing targets. Several actions are available to perform operations on the targets.

Add a target named "<name>" for the database at "<uri>". The "--set" option specifies target-specific properties. A new plan file and new script script directories will be created if they don't already exist.

Alter target named "<name>". The "--set" option specifies engine-specific properties to set. New script script directories will be created if they don't already exist.

Remove the target named "<name>". The plan file and script directories will not be affected.

Rename the target named "<old>" to "<new>".

Gives some information about the target "<name>", including the associated properties. Specify multiple target names to see information for each.

The targets are stored in the configuration file, but the command itself currently relies on no configuration variables.

Part of the sqitch suite.
