This month’s highlights include smarter dependency handling in Flyway Desktop, and a look at how we’re starting the year strong for Oracle users. Plus: last call to share your feedback in our Flyway user survey (the prize draw closes soon!).

Even more control for your dependencies in Flyway Desktop

One of Flyway’s strengths is tracking your schema as individual SQL DDL scripts on disk, giving you version control, a complete audit trail, and the ability to automate deployments with confidence. This update gives you more control over dependent objects as you capture changes and prep releases.

Oracle & Flyway: uppercase‑friendly metadata (goodbye, quotes)

If you’ve ever wondered why SELECT * FROM FLYWAY_SCHEMA_HISTORY; didn’t return results on Oracle, you’ve hit the classic lowercase/quoted identifier mismatch. We’ve smoothed this out by providing Oracle synonyms for Flyway’s metadata tables, so your queries and scripts can use the uppercase names you expect, without quoted identifiers. It’s a small change that removes everyday friction for Oracle DBAs and developers.

2026 – Redgate Flyway – Starting strong with Oracle

Deploying changes to Oracle can be complex—multiple schemas, heavy dependency chains, and environment differences. Here’s how we’re making it smoother right now and what’s next:

• Oracle Filter UI: configure what Flyway tracks (and exclude noise) without hand‑editing filter files.
• Better support for GoldenGate: filter out GoldenGate objects/columns to keep models and scripts clean.
• In development - support for ignoring invisible columns/indexes: reduce false drift; support Oracle 23ai vector data type (create/drop now; alters underway).
• Roadmap: rerunnable migration scripts, expanded Oracle code‑review policies, and deeper support for APEX workflows.
