# Database Migration

Master database schema and data migrations across ORMs (Sequelize, TypeORM, Prisma), including rollback strategies and zero-downtime deployments.

## When to Use This Skill

- Migrating between different ORMs
- Performing schema transformations
- Moving data between databases
- Implementing rollback procedures
- Zero-downtime deployments
- Database version upgrades
- Data model refactoring

## ORM Migrations

### Sequelize Migrations

```javascript
// migrations/20231201-create-users.js
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.createTable("users", {
      id: {
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
        primaryKey: true,
        autoIncrement: true,
      },
      email: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        unique: true,
        allowNull: false,
      },
      createdAt: Sequelize.DATE,
      updatedAt: Sequelize.DATE,
    });
  },

  down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.dropTable("users");
  },
};

// Run: npx sequelize-cli db:migrate
// Rollback: npx sequelize-cli db:migrate:undo
```

### TypeORM Migrations

```typescript
// migrations/1701234567-CreateUsers.ts
import { MigrationInterface, QueryRunner, Table } from "typeorm";

export class CreateUsers1701234567 implements MigrationInterface {
  public async up(queryRunner: QueryRunner): Promise<void> {
    await queryRunner.createTable(
      new Table({
        name: "users",
        columns: [
          {
            name: "id",
            type: "int",
            isPrimary: true,
            isGenerated: true,
            generationStrategy: "increment",
          },
          {
            name: "email",
            type: "varchar",
            isUnique: true,
          },
          {
            name: "created_at",
            type: "timestamp",
            default: "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP",
          },
        ],
      }),
    );
  }

  public async down(queryRunner: QueryRunner): Promise<void> {
    await queryRunner.dropTable("users");
  }
}

// Run: npm run typeorm migration:run
// Rollback: npm run typeorm migration:revert
```

### Prisma Migrations

```prisma
// schema.prisma
model User {
  id        Int      @id @default(autoincrement())
  email     String   @unique
  createdAt DateTime @default(now())
}

// Generate migration: npx prisma migrate dev --name create_users
// Apply: npx prisma migrate deploy
```

## Schema Transformations

### Adding Columns with Defaults

```javascript
// Safe migration: add column with default
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.addColumn("users", "status", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
      defaultValue: "active",
      allowNull: false,
    });
  },

  down: async (queryInterface) => {
    await queryInterface.removeColumn("users", "status");
  },
};
```

### Renaming Columns (Zero Downtime)

```javascript
// Step 1: Add new column
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.addColumn("users", "full_name", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
    });

    // Copy data from old column
    await queryInterface.sequelize.query("UPDATE users SET full_name = name");
  },

  down: async (queryInterface) => {
    await queryInterface.removeColumn("users", "full_name");
  },
};

// Step 2: Update application to use new column

// Step 3: Remove old column
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface) => {
    await queryInterface.removeColumn("users", "name");
  },

  down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.addColumn("users", "name", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
    });
  },
};
```

### Changing Column Types

```javascript
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    // For large tables, use multi-step approach

    // 1. Add new column
    await queryInterface.addColumn("users", "age_new", {
      type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
    });

    // 2. Copy and transform data
    await queryInterface.sequelize.query(`
      UPDATE users
      SET age_new = CAST(age AS INTEGER)
      WHERE age IS NOT NULL
    `);

    // 3. Drop old column
    await queryInterface.removeColumn("users", "age");

    // 4. Rename new column
    await queryInterface.renameColumn("users", "age_new", "age");
  },

  down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "age", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
    });
  },
};
```

## Data Transformations

### Complex Data Migration

```javascript
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    // Get all records
    const [users] = await queryInterface.sequelize.query(
      "SELECT id, address_string FROM users",
    );

    // Transform each record
    for (const user of users) {
      const addressParts = user.address_string.split(",");

      await queryInterface.sequelize.query(
        `UPDATE users
         SET street = :street,
             city = :city,
             state = :state
         WHERE id = :id`,
        {
          replacements: {
            id: user.id,
            street: addressParts[0]?.trim(),
            city: addressParts[1]?.trim(),
            state: addressParts[2]?.trim(),
          },
        },
      );
    }

    // Drop old column
    await queryInterface.removeColumn("users", "address_string");
  },

  down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    // Reconstruct original column
    await queryInterface.addColumn("users", "address_string", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
    });

    await queryInterface.sequelize.query(`
      UPDATE users
      SET address_string = CONCAT(street, ', ', city, ', ', state)
    `);

    await queryInterface.removeColumn("users", "street");
    await queryInterface.removeColumn("users", "city");
    await queryInterface.removeColumn("users", "state");
  },
};
```

## Rollback Strategies

### Transaction-Based Migrations

```javascript
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    c
