I second this (we use it with Postgres and Oracle).

Managing the database model should always be done through a defined process and Liquibase does help in making that
easier.Especially because it "know" which changes to apply to a given database (but this requires that *all* upgrades
aremade through Liquibase) 

We had some problems though with one or two customers where the DBA would not accept either that fact that the "script"
isan XML file, nor the Liquibase generated SQL scripts. As we had to target only a single DBMS we could write our own
XSLTthat would transform Liquibase's format into a SQL that the DBA would accept.
