Flyway's way of versioning files within clearcase

Question

Recently our development team are wanting to use Flyway as database deployment tool. Flyway requires some version numbers to be prepended to the files. Developers want to check in the version pre-pended files into the Clearcase. Our argument has been why do you need to version the files inside the versioning tool.

Has anyone used Flyway and Clearcase? If so how are you all doing it?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You would need to version those files if you cannot generate them.

But you shouldn't version them with version number, but rather put that information in an extra file, also versioned, which you can use in order to copy the other files in a separate folder, with the right naming convention.
