Applies to:

Liquibase Secure (Pro)
Liquibase Community (Open Source)

Conditions:

Any version of Liquibase Secure (Pro) or Community
Any database that uses schemas/catalogs

Issue Summary:

When attempting to run the generate-changelog command, an error occurs that multiple catalogs were found.

Error Message:

ERROR: Exception Primary Reason:  Found multiple catalogs matching

Root Cause:

Liquibase detects that there are at a minimum two schemas/catalogs that share the same name.

Resolution:

The database will need to be analyzed to ensure that no duplicate schemas/catalogs share the same name.

There is a known bug in v4.29.0 and lower, where if a schema/catalog is blank (empty characters or only spaces), it will show this error message with the target schema. If this is the case, the blank schema/catalog will need to be removed from the database for the command to execute successfully.
