Migrations files

Each application as well as the local folder can have a migrations folder. This folder contains migrations files that are a convenient way to update the database or files. The FuelPHP migration system is used. However on Novius OS there are two things you should know:

• Application migration files must be on the namespace {{APPLICATION_NAMESPACE}}\Migrations
• Whenever it is possible, sql update must be on a separate file (in order to make easier manual updates). As most of the time only sql requests are executed, a migration class has been implemented in order to ease migrations. You can take a look at the API documentation.

When an application is installed or updated, migration files are executed (if they haven’t been already) through the application manager.
