Q. Why there is not a command line utility?

A. The purpose of this library is just be a library.

Q. How can I read migrations from file system?

A. You can read with the standard library and build the migration list.

Q. Can I put more than one statement in the same Script migration?

A. I do not recommend. Put one database change per migration, if some migration fail, you exactly what statement caused the error. Also only postgres correctly handle rollback in DDL transactions.

To be less annoying you can organize your migrations like? 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and so on.

Q. Why does not exists downgrade migrations?

A. Please read https://flywaydb.org/documentation/faq#downgrade

Q. Does Darwin perform a roll back if a migration fails?

A. Please read https://flywaydb.org/documentation/faq#rollback

Q. What is the best strategy for dealing with hot fixes?

A. Plese read https://flywaydb.org/documentation/faq#hot-fixes
