Description

       Manage the set of databases ("targets") you deploy to. Each target may have a number of
       properties:

       "uri"
           The database connection URI for the target. Required. Its format is:

             db:engine:[dbname]
             db:engine:[//[user[:password]@][host][:port]/][dbname][?params][#fragment]

           Some examples:

           "db:sqlite:widgets.db"
           "db:pg://dba@example.net/blanket"
           "db:mysql://db.example.com/"
           "db:firebird://localhost//tmp/test.fdb"

           See the DB URI Draft <https://github.com/theory/uri-db> for details.

       "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 target. 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 target. The default is "$top_dir/sqitch.plan".

       "deploy_dir"
           The path to the deploy directory for the target. 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 target. 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 target. 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 target. 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 target. 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 target. 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 target. 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 engine-specific configuration managed by engine.

               Specifies the name of the database object where Sqitch's state and history data is

               (as in SQLite and MySQL). Defaults to "sqitch".

           "--client"

               in the current path named appropriately for the engine specified by the URI.

Actions

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

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

   "alter"
       Alter target 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 target named "<name>". The plan file and script directories will not be
       affected.

   "rename"
       Rename the target named "<old>" to "<new>".

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

Configuration Variables

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

Sqitch

       Part of the sqitch suite.
