All due respect to someone who has created a tool that does genuinely save me some work when deploying, but I can't internalise calling flyway a "migration" tool when failed deltas require such catastrophic manual cleanup. One typo or semantic error in a file and I get a corrupted stack that requires me to edit not only the file but the metadata table. I have started double-testing deployments to mitigate the awfulness, but are there any plans to ever make failed changes more graceful?

No need to ever manually edit the metadata table. That what Flyway's repair command is for.

However if failed migrations are a big concern for you, do yourself a favor and consider moving to a database that offers proper DDL transactions like PostgreSQL, SQL Server or DB2. Flyway runs every migration inside a transaction and this way changes become truly atomic without any sneaky implicit commits (I'm looking at you Oracle and MySQL).
