Question

Can Liquibase rollback based on a shared ID?

For example, if you have the below two changesets, can a rollback targeting just the ID of 1 be used?

-- changeset developerA:1

-- changeset developerB:1

Answer

No, Liquibase cannot roll back directly based solely on a shared ID since Liquibase uses the combination of author, ID, and file path to identify unique changesets.

Liquibase Pro does offer targeted rollbacks, such as the rollback-one-changeset, rollback-one-update, and rollback-to-date, that can be used to target specific changesets to rollback.
