sqitch-revert - Revert changes to a database

Synopsis

  sqitch [options] revert
  sqitch [options] revert <target>
  sqitch [options] revert --to-target <target>

Description

Revert changes to the database. Starting from the current deployment state, changes will be reverted in reverse the order of application. All changes will be reverted unless a target is specified, either via --to or with no option flag, in which case changes will be reverted back to that target.

If the database has not been deployed to, or its state already matches the specified target, no changes will be made. If the target appears later in the plan than the currently-deployed state, an error will be returned, along with a suggestion to instead use sqitch-deploy.

Options

--to-target
--target
--to

Specify the reversion target. Defaults to reverting all changes. See sqitchchanges for the various ways in which change targets can be specified.

-s
--set

--log-only

Log the changes as if they were reverted, but without actually running the revert scripts.

-y

Configuration Variables

[deploy.variables]
[revert.variables]

These variables are Useful if your database engine supports variables in scripts, such as PostgreSQL's psql variables.

[revert.no_prompt]

A boolean value indicating whether or not to disable the prompt before executing the revert. My be overridden by -y.
