Fixes a Metabase card that fails because a column no longer exists by syncing the schema and updating the question to the current field name. Use when a saved question breaks after a table change. Not for a whole database connection failure affecting every card.

Recovery when an agent deleted old migration files thinking they were stale, so new environments cannot bootstrap: restoring the files and setting the rule that applied files are never deleted. Use when fresh databases fail to migrate from zero. Not for files that were never applied anywhere.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - my agent added a database reset to the failing test instead of finding the test that skipped its teardown on failure - [agent applied migrations out of order - it skipped a revision and now the schem…

How to fix CI where an unpinned migration CLI version drifted and a minor release changed the generated SQL: pinning the exact version and re-verifying the output. Use when CI generates different SQL than local runs. Not for SQL differences caused by different database versions.
Recovery when an agent's idempotency check read the wrong state table (flyway_schema_history instead of alembic_version): reconciling the real state and fixing the agent's procedure to check the tool the app actually uses. Use when a migration was skipped or double-applied because the agent consulted the wrong history…
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 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 reconcile when an agent squashed migrations locally but production still runs the old files: why squashing applied history breaks, and the safe paths (keep old files, or stamp after proving schema equivalence). Use when a squash rewrote history that production already recorded. Not for squashes of never-applied…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent profiled on a 16-core VM but production runs on 2-core containers -- the GIL contention never shows up in the test - [the agent's patch validation only re-ran the scanner on the lockfile - the …

How to recover when an agent applied migrations out of order, skipping a revision: comparing the state table against the file chain, applying the skipped revision safely, and reconciling when its work is already partially done. Use when the schema is inconsistent because a revision was skipped. Not for branching heads…

How to fix "airflow db migrate failed with alembic revision conflict": aligning the airflow version with the database's migration state and re-running the managed migration. Use when airflow's own metadata-database migration fails on revision conflicts, usually after an upgrade skipped versions. Not for DAG or task er…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent timed out when airflow REST API hung on dag run status poll, poll failed - Airflow 3.3.1 marking DAG run success returns 409 Conflict even though it applied

How to reconcile dbmate's "current schema is ahead of the migration files": finding which schema_migrations versions have no file, restoring them, or cleaning the rows when the deletion was deliberate. Use when dbmate status shows versions with no corresponding file on disk. Not for a database that is simply behind th…

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 fix knex's "migration file not found for the latest batch": reconciling the knex_migrations table with the files on disk by restoring the deleted file or removing the orphaned row. Use when migrate commands fail because the latest batch references a file that no longer exists. Not for migrations that fail while…
