sql server driver to work with liquibase in maven - sql-server

Question

I´m having a problem getting the liquibase-maven-plugin to work with MS Sql Server. I have added the lastest sqljdbc4.jar to my local maven repo and I have generated a changeset from my existing database by running the liquibase.bat. When i try to run
mvn liquibase:update
I get the following exception
Failed to execute goal org.liquibase:liquibase-maven-plugin:2.0.5:update (default-cli) on project parent: The driver has not been specified either as a parameter or in a properties file.
This is my current pom.xml

Answer 1

You need to specify the liquibase database credentials as properties, for example:
<properties>
<liquibase.url>jdbc:h2:target/db1/liquibaseTest;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE</liquibase.url>
<liquibase.driver>org.h2.Driver</liquibase.driver>
<liquibase.username>user</liquibase.username>
<liquibase.password>pass</liquibase.password>
</properties>
See the following example:
