Hey everyone! 👋 I struggle with the decision what type of many-to-many relation I should use (explicit or implicit). I know what it does and also when to use it but is it hard to migrate from an implicit to an explicit later if I need extra data for the relation some day? I'm always a fan of being explicit but the explicit many-to-many relation adds overhead, especially for queries although I don't need to be explicit because I don't need any extra information (yet). I would love to hear your feedback on this and how often you really need to be explicit with the relation!

Hey Marvin, it shouldn’t be an issue to migrate an implicit to an explicit relation at any point, so starting out with an implicit one until you feel the need to add more data to it sounds like a viable strategy 🙌

Great, thanks for your feedback, Nikolas! 😊

Hey, I have this usecase now. I need to migrate to do explicit relation. How do I do it?
