Question:

Can Liquibase show what changes are going to be deployed?

Answer:

Yes, there are two commands that will show what Liquibase will deploy during the update command.

• Status
  • The status command shows a list of undeployed changesets, including the id, author, and file path name for each changeset.
• Update-sql
  • The update-sql command will show the SQL that will be deployed during the update command. This is useful to ensure that the correct SQL is being deployed.
