Dolt2.7.2

Dolt lets you track revisions to a SQL database using the same kind of version-control approach associated with Git. It records changes to the database schema, so structural edits can be followed as the design develops. It also versions individual data cells, letting you identify changes to particular values instead of treating the entire database as one indivisible object. Schema history and data history therefore belong to one versioning model.

The database remains usable through SQL while Dolt preserves the evolution of its structure and contents. Developers and teams can coordinate work on shared, changing data while keeping both database design and stored values under version control. This suits projects where collaborators need to review or organize edits to tables as well as the information inside them. Its distinguishing focus is versioning structured data, rather than limiting version control to application source code.

Dolt is aimed at developers managing datasets that change alongside the systems built around them, including collaborative work on database definitions and their records. It is published by DoltHub in the Developer Tools category. Version 2.7.2 runs on Windows and is offered as freeware. Users should understand that Dolt centers on a SQL database with history at both the schema and cell levels, rather than a source-code repository that happens to store database files.
