This section describes how custom database changes can be made, defining those changes in XML files rather that writing SQL directly against the database.
What does this section cover?
Introduction
CRM.COM uses LiquiBase to implement this database changes management mechanism and uses changelog XML files to define the desired database changes. All supported database changes can be found here.
You can apply the database changes by running the database update tool provided by CRM.COM application.
DATABASECHANGELOG table is used to keep track of the changes that ran.
Each change runs only one time and this is ensured by DATABASECHANGELOGLOCK table.
Changelog For Database Object Changes
New tables, columns and constraints are defined in <projectname>.changelog.xml which is located under ProjectNameCrmEJB/ejbModule.
Examples
Create New Table
<databaseChangeLog>
...
<changeSet author="custom_developer" id="custom-db-change-1">
<createTable tableName="CUSTOMTABLE">
<column name="CUSTOMID" remarks="Primary Key" type="VARCHAR(32)">
<constraints nullable="false"/>
</column>
<column name="CUSTOMNAME" remarks="The name of the custom entity" type="VARCHAR(256)"/>
<column name="CUSTOMALTCODE" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
<column name="CUSTOMDESC" remarks="The description of the custom entity" type="VARCHAR(512)"/>
<column name="CUSTOMCREATEDDATE" type="TIMESTAMP"/>
<column name="CUSTOMUPDATEDDATE" type="TIMESTAMP"/>
<column name="CUSTOMDELETED" type="INTEGER"/>
<column name="CUSTOMCREATEDBYUSERID" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
<column name="CUSTOMUPDATEDBYUSERID" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
<column name="CUSTOMCREATEDBYOUUID" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
<column name="CUSTOMUPDATEDBYOUUID" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
<column defaultValueNumeric="0" name="RECVERSION" type="INTEGER">

</createTable>
</changeSet>

</changeSet>
...
</databaseChangeLog>
