Add migrations state handling (#7)
This migrations introduces state handling by creating a dedicated
`pgroll` schema (name configurable). We will store migrations there, as
well as their state. So we keep some useful information, ie the
migration definition (so we don't need it for the `complete` state).

Schema includes the proper constraints to guarantee that:
* Only a migration is active at a time
* Migration history is linear (all migrations have a unique parent,
except the first one which is NULL)
* We now the current migration at all times

Some helper functions are included:

* `is_active_migration_period()` will return true if there is an active
migration.
* `latest_version()` will return the name of the latest version of the
schema.

pg-roll

⚠️ Under development ⚠️

PostgreSQL zero-downtime migrations made easy.

Getting started (development)

  • Bring a development PostgreSQL up:

    docker compose up
    
  • Initialize pg-roll (first time only):

    go run . init
    
  • Start a migration:

    go run . start examples/01_create_tables.json
    
  • Inspect the results:

    psql postgres://localhost -U postgres
    
    \d+ public.*
    \d+ 01_create_tables.*
    
  • (Optional) Rollback the migration (undo):

    go run . rollback
    
  • Complete the migration:

    go run . complete
