Liquibase Database Tutorials: Community-Maintained

Learn more about using Liquibase with your favorite databases with our in-depth tutorials. These tutorials explain how to install and configure your database with Liquibase Community and Liquibase Pro.

Verification levels

Liquibase works with 59 databases including relational, NoSQL, and graph databases. A database's verification level refers to the levels of automated and real-world professional testing and certification it has passed. The levels are:

  • Advanced (highest verification)
  • Foundational
  • Contributed
  • Research (lowest verification)

For more information, see Database Verification Levels.

Community-maintained databases

For the full list of supported databases, see Supported Databases.

Note: Liquibase supports English language databases only. Other languages with special characters may have issues.
