Updating Database Schema
========================
Keycloak supports automatically migrating the database to a new version. This is done by applying one or more change-sets
to the existing database. This means if you need to do any changes to database schemas you need to create
a change-set that can transform the schema as well as any existing data.
This includes changes to:
* Realm entities
* User entities
* User session entities
* Event entities
Creating a change-set
-------------------------
We use Liquibase to support updating the database. The change-sets are located in
[`model/jpa/src/main/resources/META-INF`](../model/jpa/src/main/resources/META-INF).
There's a separate file for each release that requires database changes.
To manually create a change-set add a new file in the above location with the name `jpa-changelog-<version>.xml`. This file
should contain a single `change-set` with `id` equal to the next version to be released and `author` set to your email
address. Then look at Liquibase documentation on how to write this file. Add a reference to this file in
[`jpa-changelog-master.xml`](../model/jpa/src/main/resources/META-INF/jpa-changelog-master.xml).
The file should have a single change-set and the id of the change-set should be the next version to be released.
You can also have Liquibase and Hibernate create one for you. To do this follow these steps:
1. Delete existing databases
`rm keycloak*h2.db`
2. Create a database of the old format:
`mvn -f connections/jpa-liquibase/pom.xml liquibase:update -Durl=jdbc:h2:keycloak`
3. Make a copy of the database:
`cp keycloak.h2.db keycloak-old.h2.db`
3. Run KeycloakServer to make Hibernate update the schema:
`mvn -f testsuite/utils/pom.xml exec:java -Pkeycloak-server -Dkeycloak.connectionsJpa.url='jdbc:h2:keycloak' -Dkeycloak.connectionsJpa.databaseSchema='development-update'`
4. Wait until server is completely started, then stop it
5. View the difference:
`mvn -f connections/jpa-liquibase/pom.xml liquibase:diff -Durl=jdbc:h2:keycloak-old -DreferenceUrl=jdbc:h2:keycloak`
6. Create a change-set file:
`mvn -f connections/jpa-liquibase/pom.xml liquibase:diff -Durl=jdbc:h2:keycloak-old -DreferenceUrl=jdbc:h2:keycloak -Dliquibase.diffChangeLogFile=changelog.xml`
This will generate the file `changelog.xml`. Once it's generated edit the file and combine all `change-sets` into
a single `change-set` and change the `id` to the next version to be released and `author` to your email address. Then
follow the steps above to copy it to the correct location and update `jpa-changelog-master.xml`. You have to manually
add entries to the `change-set` to update existing data if required.
When you have update the change-set Hibernate can validate the schema for you. First run:
rm -rf keycloak*h2.db
mvn -f testsuite/utils/pom.xml exec:java -Pkeycloak-server -Dkeycloak.connectionsJpa.url='jdbc:h2:keycloak' -Dkeycloak.connectionsJpa.databaseSchema='update'
Once the server has started fully, stop it and run:
mvn -f testsuite/utils/pom.xml exec:java -Pkeycloak-server -Dkeycloak.connectionsJpa.url='jdbc:h2:keycloak' -Dkeycloak.connectionsJpa.databaseSchema='development-validate'
Testing database migration
--------------------------
Get the database from an old version of Keycloak that includes the demo applications. Start the server with this and test it.
