Congrats on the launch, good project name and glad to see new project trying to address the classic schema migration problem.

FWIW, I built pgschema https://github.com/pgplex/pgschema which is a declarative approach to manage this.
I see this as the same argument in old days where Harvard law school banned computer in favor of the typewriter https://x.com/stevesi/status/2075994207508922406

What I would argue is knowing what topic to write is more important, and I am confident if you throw this particular question to AI, the response would be much worse.

Author here. I did use AI to assist writing. The way I do it is I feed all my past writings (around 200+ posts) to the AI and let it record my style.

I research the topic, lay the outlines and let AI write it. Then I further refine section by section with a combination of AI and manual editing).

What you have pointed out is valid and it helps me to improve the process. And I have edited the post based on your suggestion.

As a non-native speaker and engineer with 15+ database development experience, I think I will continue to use AI to assist writing (I rarely use AI if I write in my native language). This post still takes me almost an afternoon to finish, but without AI, it will take me much more time.

Good stuff. I added to the latest star-history.com issue https://www.star-history.com/blog/ai-ui-irrelevant
If someone is looking for a more comprehensive coverage for Postgres, please check out https://github.com/pgschema/pgschema.

I built this last summer and thought it was fairly complete. And it turns out I was naive. 6 months later, I have resolved ~100 issues reported by the users.

Appreciate the Bytebase shoutout! Skeema has definitely been an inspiration.

Author here — I nearly overlooked this in the changelog. Definitely my second favorite feature (uuidv7() is tough to beat)
I ask Manus to write a script to demo my CLI tool and use asciinema to record it. It's perfect

Author here. To put it simply, my bank account doesn't have 3 commas mate.

Check out Bytebase which handles all human-to-db operations (schema change, ad-hoc change, ad-hoc query). Disclaimer: I am the co-founder.

While database tools may not grab headlines like high-profile data infrastructure, they are equally indicative of the industry’s momentum.
We have been building such a tool as well, please check out https://github.com/bytebase/bytebase

Re:Building a better and scalable system for data migrations on Tuesday October 29, 2024 @04:59AM (#41981067)
This post addresses the data migration specifics well. Besides, there is the part about scaling the organization to deploy database migrations. We've built a project https://github.com/bytebase/bytebase to address this.
