Description

       Manage the database engines you deploy to. The list of supported engines includes:

       ·   "firebird"

       ·   "mysql"

       ·   "oracle"

       ·   "pg"

       ·   "sqlite"

       ·   "vertica"

       Each engine may have a number of properties:

       "target"
           The name or URI of the database target. Note that if the value is a URI, the engine in
           the URI must match the engine being added or altered. The default is "db:$engine". See
           sqitch-target for details on target configuration.

       "registry"
           The name of the registry schema or database. The default is "sqitch".

       "client"
           The command-line client to use. If not specified, each engine looks in the OS Path for
           an appropriate client.

       "top_dir"
           The path to the top directory for the engine. This directory generally contains the
           plan file and subdirectories for deploy, revert, and verify scripts, as well as
           reworked instances of those scripts. The default is ., the current directory.

       "plan_file"
           The plan file to use for this engine. The default is "$top_dir/sqitch.plan".

       "deploy_dir"
           The path to the deploy directory for the engine. This directory contains all of the
           deploy scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is
           "$top_dir/deploy".

       "revert_dir"
           The path to the revert directory for the engine. This directory contains all of the
           revert scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is
           "$top_dir/revert".

       "verify_dir"
           The path to the verify directory for the engine. This directory contains all of the
           verify scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default is
           "$top_dir/verify".

       "reworked_dir"
           The path to the reworked directory for the engine. This directory contains all
           subdirectories for all reworked scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The
           default is $top_dir.

       "reworked_deploy_dir"
           The path to the reworked deploy directory for the engine. This directory contains all
           of the reworked deploy scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default
           is "$reworked_dir/deploy".

       "reworked_revert_dir"
           The path to the reworked revert directory for the engine. This directory contains all
           of the reworked revert scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default
           is "$reworked_dir/revert".

       "reworked_verify_dir"
           The path to the reworked verify directory for the engine. This directory contains all
           of the reworked verify scripts referenced by changes in the "plan_file". The default
           is "$reworked_dir/verify".

       "extension"
           The file name extension to append to change names to create script file names.  The
           default is "sql".

       Each of these overrides the corresponding core configuration -- for example, the
       "core.target", "core.plan_file", "core.registry", and "core.client" config options.

Options

       List Option

       Add and Alter Options
           "--top-dir"
                 sqitch engine add pg --top-dir sql

               Specifies the top directory to use for the engine. Typically contains the
               deployment plan file and the change script directories.

           "--plan-file"
                 sqitch engine add pg --plan-file my.plan

           "--target"
                 sqitch engine add pg --target db:pg:widgets

               Specifies the name or URI <https://github.com/theory/uri-db/> of the target
               database for the engine.

                 sqitch engine add pg --registry meta

               Specifies the name of the database object where Sqitch's state and history data is
               stored. Typically a schema name (as in PostgreSQL and Oracle) or a database name
               (as in SQLite and MySQL). Defaults to "sqitch".

           "--client"
                 sqitch engine add pg --client /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql

               in the current path named appropriately for the engine.

Actions

       With no arguments, shows a list of existing engines. Several actions are available to
       perform operations on the engines.

   "add"
       Add an engine named "<name>" for the database at "<uri>". The "--set" option specifies
       engine-specific properties. A new plan file and new script script directories will be
       created if they don't already exist.

   "alter"
       Alter an engine named "<name>". The "--set" option specifies engine-specific properties to
       set. New script script directories will be created if they don't already exist.

   "remove", "rm"
       Remove the engine named "<name>" from the configuration. The plan file and script
       directories will not be affected.

   "show"
       Gives some information about the engine "<name>", including the associated properties.
       Specify multiple engine names to see information for each.

   "update-config"
       Update the configuration from a configuration file that predates the addition of the
       "engine" command to Sqitch.

Configuration Variables

       The engines are stored in the configuration file, but the command itself currently relies
       on no configuration variables.
