Coming from the Rails world, for a while I searched for a way to do this, and at this point I've come to the conclusion that
* "raw" SQL migrations are the way to go * rollback/down migrations are problematic for environments other than test. Regarding specific experiences, I used Lobos for a while, and while I don't hate it, I quickly ran into situations where its DSL just didn't cover the types or alterations I wanted to make, and it ended up causing more issues than it solved. My choice was to extend it or just use SQL directly. In another project I was using Flyway (http://flywaydb.org/), which does everything it needs to reasonably well, explicitly doesn't support rollbacks, and uses SQL which supports everything I need. It's database schema table is easy enough to understand that I can manually rollback during testing/development or write some scripting to handle specific cases if need be. So I've started moving in that direction. TL;DR straight SQL is the way to go, and what Korny said in another reply.
