Liquibase Enterprise was formerly known as Datical DB.
Liquibase Enterprise/Datical DB Product Support Life Cycle
Liquibase Enterprise employs a “fix forward” model of product support. This means that we do not provide patches for older versions. Instead, bug fixes and enhancements are scheduled for inclusion in a future product release based on prioritization determined by Liquibase. The customer is expected to upgrade to these newer versions in order to address the issues important to them.
Working with Customer Success and Customer Support
It is the primary goal of our Customer Success and Customer Support teams to address customer needs without requiring that customers upgrade their installation of Datical DB/Liquibase Enterprise whenever possible. This applies to major versions that have been released in the last 3 years. If an issue or enhancement has been resolved or delivered in a product release subsequent to the currently installed version of the software, the customer is expected to update to the newer release of Datical DB/Liquibase Enterprise.
Best Practice: Update Your Installation Frequently
There are several Datical DB/Liquibase Enterprise releases every year that introduce new capabilities, address defects, deliver enhancements to existing capabilities and address vulnerabilities in product dependencies. Liquibase recommends that users update their installation of Datical/DB/Liquibase Enterprise annually if not more frequently.

Support for Database Versions
Liquibase follows vendor guidelines for support of specific database platform versions. Liquibase does not provide extended support for these platforms and will not address issues with versions of these platforms if they are not fully supported by the vendor. Liquibase Enterprise certifies support of new versions of database platforms in coordination with our customers.
