If you have provided a custom rollback script for a non-DDL SQL script, then you normally do the following:

  • Replace the original script: write a -replace script.
  • Edit its existing custom rollback script. 

A non-DDL script is one that is not packaged in the ddl directory. 

Do not use a -replace script for a rollback script (myscript-rollback-replace). Packaging fails with an error if a script using -rollback-replace is found.  

Rollback scripts are always repackaged. When you change them, the version is incremented.

Example Scripts

The following scenarios start with an existing SQL script and a custom rollback script for it. 

  • myscript.sql
  • myscript-rollback.sql

Explicit Replacement of Both Files

You want to replace the existing script and modify its rollback behavior. Write a -replace script for the original script and update its custom rollback script. Package them in the same packaging run. 

  • myscript-replace.sql
  • myscript-rollback.sql

Implicit Usage of Existing Rollback Script

You want to replace the existing file but do not want to update its custom rollback script.  

  • myscript-replace.sql

In this case, myscript-rollback.sql is replaced and the rollback script is repackaged for use with the replacement script. Its version is incremented. 

Replacing Only a Rollback Script

You want to replace a rollback script. You can do this at any time, regardless of whether you are replacing the original script.

  • myscript-rollback.sql

In this case, edit myscript-rollback.sql in place. During the packaging run it is repackaged and its version is incremented.
