Database Migration Management
Table of Contents
Overview
Implement robust database migration systems with version control, rollback capabilities, and data transformation strategies. Includes migration frameworks and production deployment patterns.
When to Use
- Schema versioning and evolution
- Data transformations and cleanup
- Adding/removing tables and columns
- Index creation and optimization
- Migration testing and validation
- Rollback planning and execution
- Multi-environment deployments
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
-- Create migrations tracking table
CREATE TABLE schema_migrations (
version BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
executed_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
duration_ms INTEGER,
checksum VARCHAR(64)
);
-- Create migration log table
CREATE TABLE migration_logs (
id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
version BIGINT NOT NULL,
status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
error_message TEXT,
rolled_back_at TIMESTAMP,
executed_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
-- Function to record migration
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION record_migration(
p_version BIGINT,
p_name VARCHAR,
p_duration_ms INTEGER
) RETURNS void AS $$
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Popular data & databases skills
supabase-postgres-best-practices
supabase/agent-skills
Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pgcron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pgrestore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
