Database migrations in a Spring Boot project are managed by adding SQL files to src/main/resources/db/migration following the V{version}__{description}.sql naming convention. This ensures schema changes run predictably and maintain traceable history across environments.

The correct Flyway naming convention for versioned SQL scripts is V{version}__{description}.sql. Adhering to this standardized naming allows Flyway to track, order, and apply schema changes safely while supporting repeatable scripts for consistent rollbacks.

Schema changes are applied safely across environments by establishing clear baseline settings and following Flyway conventions for versioning. This workflow ensures that migrations run predictably in live applications with minimal downtime and a traceable history.

Yes, Flyway supports seed data and repeatable scripts in Spring Boot projects. By using standardized naming and repeatable script patterns, you can safely manage data seeding and schema alterations without disrupting existing database baselines.

Baseline settings are needed for database schema migrations to establish a starting point for existing databases, preventing Flyway from re-running already applied changes. Baseline configurations ensure safe alterations and maintain consistency across evolving environments.
