What do you think?
FWIW, I wrote (with some colleagues) a database migration system
called bering. I mention it because it has an ant task, so you can
use it with buildr with no changes.
http://code.google.com/p/bering
It's more specifically a port of rails' ActiveRecord migrations, so
the implementation is a bit different from Carbon Five's. In
particular, it uses a groovy DSL backed by a hibernate-like dialect
system (instead of plain SQL scripts) to support multiple databases.
(It was developed for use with a suite of clinical research
applications which support either PostgreSQL or Oracle.)
Deployment-wise, bering includes a ServletContextListener that can
automatically apply new migrations on application startup.
End plug.
