Hi, Can you please put step by step starter notes for Liquibase to be used through command-line and ANT? A very fresh user of such a good tool could face this problem… For example , like you have given xml files for ANT and parameters but how can a user like me would get to know that what to do with this xml code? What do I need to configure in my machine like installing ANT , setting path/directories etc. How come a new user could understand this. I AM TELLING YOU BECAUSE ITS BEEN A MONTH I AM JUST TRYING TO START LIQUIBASE… ohh … I am not at all working on it because I don’t know what to configure and how to!! What to open what to set and what to do with that xml code???
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP NATHAN???

I think that you can start using liquibase through command line. If you don’t know ant and you don’t use ANT for your regular project I think it doesn’t makes sense to use it for liquibase.
And about command line you can take a look at the manual http://www.liquibase.org/manual/command_line and if you have some concrete problem you can ask the forum providing detailed information of what you type and the errors.

If you are wanting to use ant, there is the ant liquibase documentation at http://www.liquibase.org/manual/ant. 

An example ant script would look something like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

       
           
               
                   
               
           

           
           
           
           
           

           
               
           
       

       
            <updateDatabase
                    changeLogFile="${db.changelog.file}"
                    driver="${database.driver}"
                    url="${database.url}"
                    username="${database.username}"
                    password="${database.password}"
                    classpathref=“classpath”
                    />
