A database migrations engine for the Yii framework. It comes in the form of an extension which can be dropped into any existing Yii framework application.
It relies on the database abstraction layer of the Yii framework to talk to the database engine.
It’s largely inspired on the migrations functionality of the Ruby on Rails framework.

Exactly what I was looking for
Thank you for this great extension. This prevented me from learning java and defining thousands of misterious xml definition files to use "ant".
For using yii-dbmigration under 1.1.1 I had to change a singe line in the CDbMigrationEngine.php in line 118
from
// Check if a database connection was configured try { Yii::app()->db; } catch (Exception $e) { throw new CDbMigrationEngineException( 'Database configuration is missing in your configuration file.' ); }to
// Check if a database connection was configured if (!isset(Yii::app()->db)) { throw new CDbMigrationEngineException( 'Database configuration is missing in your configuration file.' ); }Hint
This extension seems to be a part of Yii 1.1.6 now!?
