Create ability to run up and down a certain number of versions

[Rao Venu]

Currently "goose up" runs all up migrations while "goose down" runs one migration down. Please add ability to up/down a certain number of migrations.

Please see the "-c" option in https://github.com/kunklejr/node-db-migrate

Thanks -Rao

Just a quick note - this seems like a reasonable request.

Another related option would be specify a target migration.

Would be open to either or both.

[Rao Venu]

Both of these options sound good though my personal preference is to use the count. It is useful when refactoring my dbmodel and I realize that I have made a mistake. Instead of going "goose down" 10 times manually, I would prefer to be able to fire this.

Rais and other migration tools also do this

[Steve Gattuso]

I'd definitely find this useful as well.

I've been looking for a way to "reset" my database without having to drop/create the database and run migrations again. It'd be nice to be able to do something like goose down [something representing the first migration] in order to clear out the database, and then run goose up to get everything back.

+1 to this. it would be cool to goose reset

[Simon Jensen]

I would definitely find this feature-request useful. Another approach to this could be to keep track of migrations by assigning all successful migrations with a batch number. This way goose down could simply revert the entire last batch. This is exactly the way artisan does it, which is very convenient in case of a rollback.
