gollark: See, Minoteaur is technically public but entirely without support, so if I somehow need to change a thing, I'll just dump the database, manually edit the SQL dump, fix the migrations, make a new database, and load it back in.
gollark: It doesn't have a way to revert migrations because I never actually make mistakes.
gollark: Nim.
gollark: There's an array of SQL scripts a bit above it.
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")```
