My admins won't give the app user create/alter/drop/etc. permissions so I can't use migrations in prod. However, I do something like Mike suggests. I'm using the <ModelName>0_Oracle_Upgrade.migration approach since I could never get Java to handle CLOBs correctly not to mention the 32 character limit on the foreign keys. I simply test in dev and stage. Once I know all is well I give the migration script to the admins with, of course, a little extra to take care of the dbupdater.version increment. That way I don't have to strip out the migrations between stage and prod.

Makes them happy and works for me.

Test in a staging environment (that is a production clone) first ... I always 
used them, though. I've considered making a variant of migrations that just 
spit out the computed migration SQL instead of applying them directly for 
environments where you don't want to run them automagically.

Hi,

Is anyone using Migrations in production environment? If yes, what is your 
experience? I was planning to use it but a bit affraid as db changes on the fly 
frightens me especially in production :)
