DBLift – database migration management for Python teams
I’ve been working for a while on DBLift, an open-source database migration toolkit for Python teams. DBLift follows the same model flyway does with the same main commands and the same history table structure making it easy to switch from one to the other with the import_flyway command. By default DBLift is out of order meaning that any unapplied migration is eligible to be applied contrary to flyway which refuse to apply any migration with a lower version until you force it. You can still apply the original flyway model you can still opt-in with the —strict flag.…
What it does
DBLift is developer tools / information technology software for Python-native database migrations. Preview SQL, validate state, and ship safer schema changes across RDBMS and PostgreSQL-compatible clouds.
DBLift is commercial information technology software and developer tools for database migrations and release safety. It helps Python teams preview SQL before it runs, validate migration state, and add Pro review checks when release risk grows. DBLift covers traditional RDBMS engines, DuckDB, and PostgreSQL-compatible clouds. The open-source core includes migrate, validate, undo, and related workflows; Pro and Enterprise add SQL review, schema comparison, offline plan, preflight, and evidence reporting. DBLift is information technology / developer tools software. Contact: [email protected]from dblift.com

If you already work in python DBLift integrates with your existing tooling: pip, sqlalchemy, Django, Flask… Honest feedback welcome — especially if you're currently using Flyway on a Python project and it works fine, I'd like to understand what I'm missing.

Hello HN, I've just released a new migration tool for Go that mimics the functionality of Ruby on Rails migrations. It's designed to help Go developers manage database schema changes with ease. This allows you several benefits: - Write type-safe migrations - Auto down of migrations whenever it's possible - Easy backfill even with business logic because it's Go code - Painless integration with existing schema - sql.DB compatible and driver agnostic (it uses your driver) I have a pretty complete API to manage Postgres schema and I am working on the SQLite one (a little more complicated due to…
- SSSPyQL – SQL with Python in the middle2022 · github.com · ▲105
SPyQL (https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql) is SQL with Python in the middle, an open-source project fully written in Python for making command-line data processing more intuitive, readable and powerful. Try mixing in the same pot: a SQL SELECT for providing the structure, Python expressions for defining transformations and conditions, the essence of awk as a data-processing language, and the JSON handling capabilities of jq. How does a SPyQL query looks like? $ spyql “ IMPORT pendulum AS p SELECT (p.now() - p.from_timestamp(purchase_ts)).in_days() AS days_ago, sum_agg(price…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
