|

|
||||
### Required table
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration
|
||||
All configuration needed is done in .configuration.sh.
|
||||
Note that a
|
||||
[.pgpass](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/libpq-pgpass.html) file will
|
||||
do most of the times as well and therefore configuration is not mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Migration files
|
||||
The files in the /migrations directory are changes to the scheme, not the full
|
||||
scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
The naming convention for migration files are:
|
||||
- 000.000
|
||||
- 000.001
|
||||
- 000.002
|
||||
- 000.003
|
||||
- 000.004
|
||||
- ...and so on
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**
|
||||
The first file, `migration/000.000` may look like this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
create table users (
|
||||
name varchar(32) not null,
|
||||
primary key (name)
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The second file, `migration/000.001` may look like this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
alter table users
|
||||
add email varchar(256) not null;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Prerequisites
|
||||
One table needs to be created for the database to make this work:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
create table database_versions (
|
||||
CREATE TABLE database_versions (
|
||||
version varchar(32) not null,
|
||||
is_active boolean not null default false,
|
||||
creation_date timestamp not null default current_timestamp
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To do the actual migration, then just run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
# ./db-upgrade
|
||||
```
