pg-osc (Online Schema Change) is a CLI tool for making non-blocking schema changes to large PostgreSQL tables. It creates a shadow table, copies data incrementally, and swaps tables with minimal downtime. Ideal for high-traffic applications, pg-osc lets teams modify database structures safely in production environments.

Features

  • Perform non-blocking ALTER TABLE operations
  • Uses shadow table and trigger-based syncing
  • Minimal downtime during schema changes
  • Progress reporting and resumable execution
  • CLI interface for ease of use and automation
  • Safe rollback and dry-run capabilities
