I have an SQL file like this with a variable:
INSERT INTO ATABLE VALUES ('${MY_VAR}');
I set on my shell
export MY_VAR=ABC
Now I run liquibase.sh to apply my SQL to the DB. I can see that in my database it contains the value ‘ABC’.
I can see from the documentation that this mechanism is supported 1, but documentation states it should only do this for variables starting with ‘LIQUIBASE_’. Why is it still doing it for my variable?
I am asking because we are seeing this replacmenent of environment variable in an inconsistent manor. It happens for some variables but others not and i would like to understand what is expected from liquibase product side. Should it replace random variables that do not start with the LIQUIBASE_ prefix or not?
I also see this thread that suggests that it will replace any environment variables but to me it does not align with what is in the documentation.
