using short version numbers

Using short version numbers

[HOME]

You can use, instead of a full version number (e.g. 8.0.11,) a short one, such as 8.0. This shortcut works starting with version 1.6.0. When you invoke dbdeployer with a short number, it will look for the highest revision number within that version, and use it for deployment.

For example, if your sandbox binary directory contains the following:

5.7.19    5.7.20    5.7.22    8.0.1    8.0.11    8.0.4

You can issue the command dbdeployer deploy single 8.0, and it will use 8.0.11 for a single deployment. Or dbdeployer deploy replication 5.7 and it will result in a replication system using 5.7.22 (the latest one.)
