In Spring Boot, you can use Flyway or Liquibase to carry out database migration.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using Flyway: Flyway is an open-source database migration tool that can track and manage changes in the database, and automatically execute migration scripts when the application starts. Database migration can be achieved by adding Flyway dependencies and configuring relevant database connection information and migration script paths.<\/li>\n
  2. Utilizing Liquibase: Liquibase is also a popular database migration tool that uses formats like XML or YAML to describe database changes, and can automatically execute migration scripts when the application starts. Database migration can be achieved by adding Liquibase dependencies and configuring the relevant database connection information and change script paths.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Both Flyway and Liquibase can automatically execute database migration scripts when a Spring Boot application starts, ensuring that the database structure is kept in sync with the requirements of the application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
