title: Database migrations in Joomla
body: <p>Is there any way of using database migrations with Joomla? I'm looking for a mechanism like the one found in Rails or Symfony.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to apply changes to the database whenever my model changes, e.g. adding a column, creating a new relationship, dropping some tables,...</p>
  
  <p>In <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/101868/592454">this question</a>, the accepted answer seems like a very cool option, but I don't know if there is something specific to Joomla.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
