Awesome!

What follows is nitpicking, but the patch otherwise LGTM!

For Makefile.am, please specify the new variables explicitly in the
commit log.

>  dist_pkgdata_DATA = src/schema.sql
> +dist_sql_DATA = src/sql/upgrade-*.sql

This won’t really work; you have to explicitly list the files (or use
$(wildcard …), but I have a slight preference for an explicit list.)

Please add a space here…

Rather ‘db-schema-version’?  Also, please consider adding docstrings to
top-level procedures.

> +(define (db-set-version db version)

Likewise: ‘db-set-schema-version’.

> +(define (get-target-version)

‘latest-db-schema-version’ maybe?  :-)

I think you can write it along these lines:

  (reduce max 0
          (map (compose string->number (cut match:substring <> 1))
               (filter-map (cut string-match …) (scandir …))))

> +(define (get-upgrade-file version)

‘schema-upgrade-file’?

> +(define (db-upgrade db)
> +  (do-ec (:range version (db-get-version db) (get-target-version))

I would rather avoid SRFI-42, not just because I can’t parse it ;-), but
also to maintain consistency and make the code possibly more accessible.

In this case I think we could use a simple loop or (for-each … (iota n))
and that wouldn’t be bad.

WDYT?

Thank you!
