Clojurians Log v2

recently moved stuff to flyway as well. it seems to work for the basic needs.

Humm, as far as I know, sequential migration numbers are only needed in Ragtime if you want to split a SQL migration in several files so each file has only one SQL sentence (according to https://github.com/weavejester/ragtime/wiki/SQL-Migrations#sql). But if you use the --;; marker to separate SQL sentences, you can have them in a single file. In this case, the name of the file doesn't need to include sequential migration numbers. Files just need to end in .up.sql and .down.sql, but the "prefix" can be whatever you like, as long as they sort lexicographically in the order you need. That is, you could use timestamps as migration ids, like you do in Migratus. Am I wrong?

I'd have to dig into how Ragtime records which migrations have been applied and which haven't, but it is relying on conventions, whereas Migratus records all the actual migrations applied I believe (so you don't have problems if you create migrations on branches that don't get merged until later). I haven't used either, so I'm basing my comments on other people's discussions about running into that problem (with Ragtime specifically and sequential migrations in general). Migratus has a utility to create the migration files for you so you don't have to manually figure out the right name.

Oh, now I see what you meant! You were talking about the order of the recorded migrations that are already applied. And not about how to order the files with the new migrations that you want to apply. In that case, Ragtime imposes what you called "sequential migration numbers" by default, using the so-called "raise-error migration strategy" (See https://github.com/weavejester/ragtime/wiki/Concepts#strategies). But you can choose between several strategies. I think ragtime.strategy/apply-new is almost the same as what you say Migratus does.
