How do I manage database migrations across multiple modules?▼

Multi-module database migrations are managed by executing versioned SQL scripts within module-specific sql/<module>/ directories, ensuring correct sequence and dependency handling across the project.

How do I rollback the latest SQL migration for a specific module?▼

SQL migration rollback is supported by executing the migrate.sh script with rollback parameters, reverting the most recent schema changes for a selected module using dbmate.

How do I configure database migration environments for local and test setups?▼

Database migration environments are configured using a DATABASE_URL variable alongside local, test, and .env configuration files to manage environment-specific schema changes.

What directory structure is required for multi-module database migrations?▼

Multi-module database migrations require a local sql/<module>/ directory structure containing versioned SQL migration scripts and corresponding rollback files to execute properly.

Can I select specific modules to run database migrations on instead of all modules?▼

Per-module selection is supported during database migration, allowing you to target specific modular SQL directories rather than executing migrations across all modules.

Does dbmate work with brew for managing database schema migrations?▼

dbmate works with brew as a dependency to perform database schema migrations, applying versioned SQL files and managing automated rollback scripts across configured environments.
