FAQPage Schema
How do I manage database schema changes using SQL scripts?▼

You can manage database schema changes by applying DBUp SQL scripts to track and execute migrations. This ensures your persistence schema aligns with application requirements through a defined migration workflow.

What is the best way to run database migrations on API startup?▼

Running database migrations on API startup is supported by this skill using DBUp scripts. It automates schema evolution to ensure data integrity and consistency across application environments.

How do I set up a database for a new local or Dockerized application instance?▼

Database setup for new local or Dockerized instances is handled through initial DBUp SQL scripts. This first-time configuration prepares the persistence schema to match your application's requirements.

Can I use explicit SQL migrations for EF Core model changes?▼

Yes, you can handle complex EF Core model changes by writing explicit SQL migrations. This ensures the database schema evolves correctly without relying solely on automated framework generation.

Why write explicit SQL scripts instead of using automated EF Core migrations?▼

Writing explicit SQL scripts provides precise control over schema evolution and ensures data integrity. It defines a clear migration workflow that aligns the persistence layer with application requirements.

What limitations exist when using DBUp for database migrations?▼

DBUp migrations require explicit SQL scripts for schema changes and do not automatically generate migrations from EF Core models. You must manually write scripts to ensure the persistence schema aligns with application requirements.
