Simplify Schema Comparisons with Smart Filters

July 9, 2026
Redgate Flyway adds configurable PostgreSQL and MySQL filters to help teams exclude unwanted objects from comparisons.

Flyway extends DevOps practices to databases, significantly speeding up how quickly software can be released and improving the overall quality of the code. By offering features like version control for database schemas and enabling continuous delivery pipelines for database changes, Flyway helps individuals, teams, and organizations to improve their existing software delivery through the automation of database development tasks. This integration ensures that database changes are managed with the same rigor and efficiency as application code, leading to faster, more reliable, and less error-prone software deployments.

Redgate Flyway enables software developers to configure object filters for PostgreSQL and MySQL database projects directly within Flyway Desktop, making it easier to control which schema objects are included in comparisons and deployments. By excluding test scaffolding, tooling tables, and other non-essential objects, teams can reduce unnecessary differences, improve comparison accuracy, and keep version controlled database projects focused on relevant assets. This helps create cleaner, more consistent development workflows while reducing the risk of deploying unintended database objects across environments.

Flyway is licensed per server on an annual subscription basis. See our Flyway licensing page for full details.
