====== Generating Change Logs ======

When starting to use LiquiBase on an existing database, it is often useful, particularly for testing, to have a way to generate the change log to create the current database schema. LiquiBase allows you to do this with the "generateChangeLog" [[command line]] command.


===== Example =====

<code>
Liquibase.sh --driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver \
      --classpath=\path\to\classes:jdbcdriver.jar \
      --changeLogFile=com/example/db.changelog.xml \
      --url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE" \
      --username=scott \
      --password=tiger \
      generateChangeLog
</code>
