Hi Konrad, No problem! I should have brought it up before but unfortunately I realized the need for an 'alter' only after the test I wrote didn't pass :) In my opinion, as Thomas mentioned we should/could 'cheat' this time and run the database SQL directly on the database Instead of doing the same via the framework we are planning to put in place.

We only have to support one database (PostgreSQL) and not the many others supported by the project. This is one the reason that I forked the project. Because the original author may not be interested to remove features. > 2. We want to have pre- and post-migration scripts (probably in Go) that need to run smart migration steps, that would otherwise be too cumbersome to write in pure SQL files. I have implemented this feature. See the documentation: <a href="https://godoc.org/github.com/baijum/pgmigration" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://godoc.org/github.com/baijum/pgmigration</a> If the first reason for forking can be ignored, I can send this feature to the original project and we can use that. Please let me know. > 3. We don't want to support down-migrations. The current package doesn't have down-migrations. <div class="elided-text"> Regards, Baiju M _______________________________________________ almighty-public mailing list <a href="mailto:almighty-public@redhat.com">almighty-public@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/almighty-public" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/almighty-public</a> </div></blockquote></div> </div>
