    Upgrade custom database table

    Hi,

    I have a plugin released which has a database table that in a next version will have an extra column.

    In my application event handler if have the following code:

    if (!db.TableExist("customTable"))
    db.CreateTable<CustomTable>(false);

    So if the databse doesn't exists, it will create a new one.

    But what with existing tables during a upgrade? What will be the best way to do database changes on existing tables that has already records?

    In my case I need an extra column of type int without null values.

    /Michaël

    Hi,

    You should use migrations - take a look at this article : https://cultiv.nl/blog/using-umbraco-migrations-to-deploy-changes/

    It will allow you to both up- and down-grade your plugin (downgrade is used for uninstall).
