Nice! Thank you for your contribution! Some quick thoughts:

Okay, I reviewed it, and have a few requests:
- Please update docs-master/Advanced/Migrations.md
- add an integration test to adapters/tests/commonTEsts.js - you'll notice that there are some migration tests there that actually test if new columns/tables are usable after the addition. You could modify them or add a new test that tests if destroyed columns really were destroyed
- please add a note to changelog-unreleased
Otherwise, it all seems reasonable, thanks for your work!

pls update one of the tests above to test for the format of what destroyColumn returns

this doesn't seem correct to me, and there are no tests for this. can you explain?

I had wrong understanding of getSyncChanges. I still have.
- If there is an addColumns for 'table' and 'column' in an earlier step, a destroyColumn in a later step should cancel it out. That's why I unnested them and kept them as a single array.

It looks like ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN is not supported although the docs say it does. However, ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN is supported. I am stuck right now :) |
on which platform are you testing that? |

oh no https://sqlite.org/changes.html this was only added in 3.35.0 :( |
|
you could go with something like this : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5938048/delete-column-from-sqlite-table but you probably have to drop and recreate indices for it to work |
|
That's what I was afraid of. I would need to pass also the whole table description in order to do that. It makes the whole migration step really ugly. |

@bmatasar Unfortunately, it's complicated. On iOS and Android we're using the system built-in version of sqlite, so we can't rely on newer sqlite features. On Android JSI we're bundling sqlite 3.36 https://github.com/Nozbe/WatermelonDB/blob/master/package.json#L48 because it's impossible to reuse system version of sqlite. We're also using I would prefer not to bundle sqlite3 on iOS due to codesize/performance concerns |

The problem is that in order to apply the solution with the duplication of the table I need the whole schema for the table. The statements are generated just from the migrations steps, so it will look more like a |

yeah that's fair. I forgot about this, but this difficulty is why I never implemented dropping tables and columns in migrations - it shouldn't be very hard but it's not trivial |
|
Let's close the PR for now. |
|
I'm gonna re-open so the work done already doesn't get lost |
|
@bmatasar read about the magic sqlite tables, I think you can get info about indices with pure SQL |
|
I looked into |
|
Any plans to add this in? Seems like it would be a pretty useful migration step |
|
just passing by, hope you don't mind the notification now with ios 17 being out, I believe requiring ios 15 won't be an issue 👍 |
|
I would rather start a new PR based on #1654 |

I don't know how to add info about dropped columns in getSyncChanges
