# MariaDB
sql-migrate -d ./sql/migrations/ init --sql-command mariadb
# MySQL
sql-migrate -d ./sql/migrations/ init --sql-command mysql
# .env
MY_URL='user:pass@tcp(localhost:3306)/mydb?multiStatements=true&parseTime=true'
MY_CNF='./my.cnf'
MUST: Include multiStatements=true in the DSN. mymigrate validates this on first exec and returns an error if missing.
The CLI uses --defaults-extra-file to avoid passwords in command args:
# my.cnf
