部署Typo3数据库更改

Question

I wonder if there is a good way of deploying database changes made on a typo3 website (on dev) to a live website?

In Magento for example there are folders containg sql install statements (for the structure, new tables etc.) and data install scripts (inserting data into the tables). These scripts are automatically executed when deployed to live.

Good ways of getting rid of manual database adaptions are welcome.

Thanks!

Answer 1

TYPO3 extensions have their ext_tables.sql files which define the database structure they need.

When installing the extension, the necessary database structure changes are made by the TYPO3 extension manager. You can also apply the changes yourself by using the install tool -> database update.

So as long as your extensions have the correct table definitions, you're fine and can rely on TYPO3 to update the actual database.
