Prisma

Hi there, Is there a standard practice for prisma apps in creating data migrations?

There is a lot of documentation about schema migrations, but what about managing data migrations that may not use sql?

We don’t have a standard practice, but here’s a <https://thoughtbot.com/blog/data-migrations-in-rails|good guide> :slightly_smiling_face:

The general recommendation would be to separate data migrations from schema migrations, and run them with a different system, potentially by hand.

Got it thanks. Rails does some nice stuff around up/down and so did Redwood so was wondering if there was an approach that the prisma community agreed on

We didn’t generally want to go for `up/down` migrations at the moment, but we would be considering something like <https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/4688|this> in the future which could possibly have an `up/down` like migration style.

Oh thanks for that. Yeah it would be great to see that in prisma for sure.
