Migrations (SeaORM)

Two-Step Workflow

1. Generate Migration Files

runique makemigrations reads your entities declared in src/entities and generates the corresponding migration files:

runique makemigrations --entities src/entities --migrations migration/src

2. Apply Migrations

Via the SeaORM CLI (recommended):

sea-orm-cli migrate up --migration-dir migration/src

sea-orm-cli migrate down --migration-dir migration/src   # Revert the last migration
sea-orm-cli migrate status --migration-dir migration/src # Check migration status

The following commands exist in the Runique CLI but bypass SeaORM's chronological tracking:

runique migration up --migrations migration/src
runique migration down --migrations migration/src
runique migration status --migrations migration/src

⚠️ These commands do not update SeaORM's migration tracking table. Use only if you know what you are doing — prefer sea-orm-cli for the normal workflow.

⚠️ runique makemigrations is the only tool to use for generating migration files. Do not use sea-orm-cli migrate generate: the Runique system maintains a chronological order and snapshots that the SeaORM CLI is not aware of.
