As to why most, if not all, SQL migration tools are stateful, "the good ones" often have migration descriptions and timestamps as well. Since a persistent store is by definition stateful, having tooling state stored alongside the concepts managed makes sense in many cases. 0 - https://mybatis.org/migrations/ https://mybatis.org/migrations/
