Create Database Migration
Create a new database migration file for the OWID MySQL 8 database.
Steps
- Run
yarn createDbMigration db/migration/<NewMigrationName>where<NewMigrationName>is a descriptive name for the migration - The generated filename will contain a timestamp prefix, so scan the
db/migration/directory to find the actual path of the new file - Report the new file path to the user
Naming Guidelines
Choose a descriptive name for the migration that clearly indicates what schema change is being made (e.g., AddUserEmailIndex, CreateAuditLogTable, RemoveDeprecatedColumns).
