Automated database schema upgrade.

Features

Simple XML syntax for scripts. Add dynamics to your existing SQL scripts by creating a thin wrapper XML file:

      <!DOCTYPE etl SYSTEM "http://scriptella.javaforge.com/dtd/etl.dtd">
      <etl>
          <connection driver="$driver" url="$url" user="$user" password="$password"/>
          <script>
              <include href="PATH_TO_YOUR_SCRIPT.sql"/>
              -- And/or directly insert SQL statements here
          </script>
      </etl>

Support for many useful JDBC features, e.g. parameters in SQL including file blobs and JDBC escaping.
Performance. Performance and low memory usage are one of the primary goals.

Support for cross-database ETL scripts by using <dialect> elements
Transactional execution
Error handling via <onerror> elements
Conditional scripts/queries execution (similar to Ant if/unless attributes but more powerful)

Easy-To-Run ETL files directly from Java code.
Built-in adapters for popular databases for a tight integration. Support for any database with JDBC/ODBC compliant driver.

Built-In CSV, TEXT, XML, LDAP, Lucene, Velocity, JEXL and Janino providers. Integration with Java EE, Spring Framework, JMX and JNDI for enterprise ready scripts.
