Java – handles schema changes when handling multiple functional branches

Is there another way or some tool to handle database schema changes in multiple parallel functional branches instead of creating a separate database for each functional branch in development?

Namely Start the database in memory based on some configuration or script and populate it with Dbunit before running the test

This problem is specific to unit testing, but it also applies to UAT
