gollark: Check out minoteaur's advanced™ migration engine:```nimproc migrate*(db: DbConn) = let currentVersion = fromDbValue(get db.value("PRAGMA user_version"), int) for mid in (currentVersion + 1) .. migrations.len: db.transaction: logger.log(lvlInfo, "Migrating to schema " & $mid) db.execScript migrations[mid - 1] db.exec("PRAGMA user_version = " & $mid) logger.log(lvlDebug, "DB ready")```
gollark: My DB-using projects include all migration capability too, if sometimes limited to a bunch of `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` calls, but if I ever *needed* it I would just make them able to call some functions to migrate the rows.
gollark: Well, yes, unless you write an extension for it, but no fixed length ones, and I can just do complex stuff in the program.
gollark: You're right, maybe just preinstall a rootkit on all the systems with databases?
gollark: I guess my decision to use SQLite and PostgreSQL for basically everything ever, as they don't have these constraints, was good then.
