Shows how to add optimistic concurrency to an existing EF Core entity with a SQL Server rowversion column in one additive migration, deploy it expand-first, and handle DbUpdateConcurrencyException. Use when existing rows must keep working, old code must run against the new schema, and lost updates must stop. Not for P…

Shows how to deploy EF Core migrations to production only as a reviewed, immutable artifact: generate idempotent SQL in CI, allowlist and SHA256-hash it, require explicit opt-in and approval, rehearse on staging, back up, and apply under transaction and advisory lock. Use for gated production EF Core releases. Not for…

How to fix a rollback script that references columns that no longer exist because the down migration was never tested: repairing the down migration and adding up/down testing to CI. Use when rollback fails on a stale down migration. Not for rollbacks that fail for data reasons.
Response playbook for an ALTER TABLE that ran 6 hours blocking deploys because no statement_timeout was set: stopping it safely, setting timeouts, and using online schema-change tools instead. Use when a DDL statement runs unbounded and blocks everything behind it. Not for slow DML or stuck queries.
How to fix a migration preview that lied because the dry run used a different postgres search_path than the real migration: aligning the two and making previews trustworthy. Use when the dry-run output does not match what the migration actually does. Not for previews that are wrong for other reasons.
Recovery and prevention after an agent ran prisma migrate dev against a shared staging database and wiped data URIs restoring from backup, and the guardrails that keep migrate dev off shared databases. Use when migrate dev reset a database it should never have touched. Not for migrate deploy issues.
How to fix a deploy marked failed because the health check queried a table the migration had locked: making health checks lock-aware and migration-safe. Use when health checks fail spuriously during migrations. Not for health checks failing because the app is genuinely broken.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent d1 migration locked the table during peak traffic - agent's suggested index fixed the SELECT but the migration locked the table for 40 minutes during the ALTER

Recovery when an agent deployed the app before the migration job finished and new code queries a column that does not exist yet: stabilizing the deploy, finishing the migration, and wiring the ordering so it cannot recur. Use when deploy and migration raced. Not for code bugs unrelated to schema timing.
Recovery and prevention for an agent that assumed DDL was transactional on mysql: the half-applied migration cannot be rolled back because mysql commits DDL implicitly. Use when a mysql migration failed midway and left a partial schema. Not for postgres, where transactional DDL usually allows rollback.
How to retry a cockroachdb schema change that failed due to concurrent DML: understanding why the declarative schema changer aborts, retrying with backoff, and reducing contention. Use when a DDL statement fails because writes raced it. Not for schema changes that fail on syntax or validation.
How to fix gh-ost's "FATAL cannot acquire lock on table" during an online schema migration: finding the blocking workload, retrying the cutover in a quiet window, and tuning the lock settings. Use when gh-ost fails at the cutover step because it cannot get the brief table lock it needs. Not for failures during the row…

How to fix typeorm's QueryFailedError "duplicate key value violates unique constraint" during a migration run: finding the conflicting rows, making the data change idempotent, and resuming safely. Use when a migration's INSERT or backfill collides with existing rows. Not for duplicate keys caused by application writes…
How to release a stuck liquibase changelog lock ("Waiting for changelog lock"): confirming no liquibase process is actually running, then clearing the lock with release-locks or a direct update to DATABASECHANGELOGLOCK. Use when liquibase waits forever on a lock left behind by a crashed or killed run. Not for locks he…

Prevents D1 migrations from locking tables at peak with online migration patterns. Use when a migration blocks traffic. Key trigger: table lock during migration at peak.
