Liquibase vs OctoSQL: What are the differences?

Liquibase: Source control for your database. Developers store database changes in text-based files on their local development machines and apply them to their local databases. Changelog files can be be arbitrarily nested for better management; OctoSQL: A query tool that allows you to join, analyse and transform data from multiple databases. It is a SQL query engine which allows you to write standard SQL queries on data stored in multiple SQL databases, NoSQL databases and files in various formats trying to push down as much of the work as possible to the source databases, not transferring unnecessary data.

Liquibase and OctoSQL belong to "Database Tools" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Liquibase are:

  • Supports code branching and merging
  • Supports multiple developers
  • Supports multiple database types

On the other hand, OctoSQL provides the following key features:
