# Database Migration Skill

Supabase migration patterns, RLS audit, schema validation. Guides safe DDL operations against the Supabase database.

## Quand proposer ce skill

| Contexte detecte | Proposition |
|------------------|------------|
| User mentionne migration, DDL, ALTER TABLE | `/db-migration [nom]` |
| Modification schema Supabase ou RLS | `/db-migration` |
| Ajout/suppression colonne ou index | `/db-migration [table_action]` |
| Nouveau module avec tables propres | `/db-migration create_[module]_tables` |

---

## Workflow 4 Phases (OBLIGATOIRE)

### Phase 1 — Analyse

1. **Identifier l'operation** : CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE (ADD/DROP/RENAME COLUMN), CREATE INDEX, DROP TABLE, RLS policy
2. **Evaluer l'impact** :
   - Taille de la table cible : `SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('table_name'));`
   - Nombre de rows : `SELECT count(*) FROM table_name;`
   - Dependances : FK, triggers, RPC functions, views
3. **Classifier le risque** :

| Operation | Risque | Lock | Downtime potentiel |
|-----------|--------|------|--------------------|
| ADD COLUMN (nullable) | Bas | ACCESS EXCLUSIVE (instant) | 0 |
| ADD COLUMN (DEFAULT) | Moyen | ACCESS EXCLUSIVE (rewrite < PG14) | Minutes si table large |
| DROP COLUMN | Haut | ACCESS EXCLUSIVE | Perte de donnees irreversible |
| CREATE INDEX | Moyen | SHARE lock (bloque writes) | Minutes si table large |
| CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY | Bas | Pas de lock | 0 (mais plus lent) |
| DROP TABLE | Critique | ACCESS EXCLUSIVE | Perte complete |
| ALTER TYPE | Haut | ACCESS EXCLUSIVE (rewrite) | Minutes |

### Phase 2 — Plan

1. **Ecrire le SQL** de migration dans `backend/supabase/migrations/YYYYMMDD_description.sql`
2. **Ecrire le SQL de rollback** (voir section Rollback ci-dessous)
3. **Preparer les validations** before/after (voir section Data Validation)
4. **Verifier les safe patterns** (IF NOT EXISTS, BEGIN/COMMIT, etc.)

### Phase 3 — Execute

1. Executer les queries de validation BEFORE
2. Appliquer la migration via `mcp__supabase__apply_migration`
3. Verifier le succes dans `mcp__supabase__list_migrations`
4. Executer les queries de validation AFTER

### Phase 4 — Verify

1. `mcp__supabase__list_tables` → verifier le schema
2. `mcp__supabase__get_advisors(type: "security")` → verifier RLS
3. `mcp__supabase__get_advisors(type: "performance")` → verifier index
4. Tester les queries applicatives impactees

## Rollback Templates

Preparer le rollback AVANT d'executer la migration :

```sql
-- Rollback: ADD COLUMN
ALTER TABLE my_table DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS new_column;

-- Rollback: DROP COLUMN (IMPOSSIBLE sans backup)
-- ⚠️ Sauvegarder les donnees AVANT :
-- CREATE TABLE _backup_my_table_col AS SELECT id, dropped_col FROM my_table;

-- Rollback: CREATE TABLE
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table;

-- Rollback: CREATE INDEX
DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_name;

-- Rollback: ALTER TYPE
ALTER TABLE my_table ALTER COLUMN col TYPE old_type USING col::old_type;

-- Rollback: RLS policy
DROP POLICY IF EXISTS policy_name ON my_table;
```

**Regle** : Si le rollback est impossible (DROP COLUMN, DROP TABLE), **exiger confirmation utilisateur** avant execution.

---

## Backfill Strategy (tables larges)

Pour les tables > 100K rows, utiliser le batching :

```sql
-- Backfill par batch de 10K rows
DO $$
DECLARE
  batch_size INT := 10000;
  total_updated INT := 0;
  rows_affected INT;
BEGIN
  LOOP
    UPDATE my_table
    SET new_column = compute_value(old_column)
    WHERE new_column IS NULL
    LIMIT batch_size;

    GET DIAGNOSTICS rows_affected = ROW_COUNT;
    total_updated := total_updated + rows_affected;
    RAISE NOTICE 'Updated % rows (total: %)', rows_affected, total_updated;

    EXIT WHEN rows_affected = 0;
    PERFORM pg_sleep(0.1);  -- Pause pour ne pas saturer
  END LOOP;
END $$;
```

**Index sur tables larges** : toujours utiliser `CONCURRENTLY` :
```sql
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS idx_name ON my_table (column);
```

---

## Data Validation Queries

Executer AVANT et APRES la migration :

```sql
-- Row counts
SELECT count(*) AS row_count FROM my_table;

-- Null check sur nouvelle colonne
SELECT count(*) FILTER (WHERE new_col IS NULL) AS nulls,
       count(*) FILTER (WHERE new_col IS NOT NULL) AS filled
FROM my_table;

-- Constraint check
SELECT conname, contype FROM pg_constraint WHERE conrelid = 'my_table'::regclass;

-- Index check
SELECT indexname, indexdef FROM pg_indexes WHERE tablename = 'my_table';

-- RLS check
SELECT polname, polcmd, polroles FROM pg_policy WHERE polrelid = 'my_table'::regclass;
```

## Migration File Location

- `backend/supabase/migrations/YYYYMMDD_description.sql`

## Pre-Migration Checklist

1. **Test SQL** in dev environment first (use `mcp__supabase__execute_sql`)
2. **Verify no breaking changes** to existing RPC functions
3. **Check RLS impact** on existing queries
4. **Verify key access patterns** — service_role (backend) vs anon (frontend)
5. **Run advisors after migration** — `mcp__supabase__get_advisors` for security + performance

## Safe Patterns

```sql
-- Always use IF NOT EXISTS / IF EXISTS
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS my_table (...);
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_name ON my_table (column);
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS old_table;

-- Wrap multi-statement migrations
BEGIN;
  ALTER TABLE my_table ADD COLUMN new_col TEXT;
  CREATE INDEX idx_new ON my_table (new_col);
COMMIT;

-- Add comments explaining purpose
COMMENT ON TABLE my_table IS 'Description of table purpose';
```

## RLS Audit Patterns

- **Every new table MUST have RLS enabled :** `ALTER TABLE my_table ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;`
- Verify policies cover : SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
- Backend uses `service_role` key (bypasses RLS)
- Frontend uses `anon` key (subject to RLS)
- After adding RLS, test with both keys

## MCP Tools Available

| Tool | Use |
|------|-----|
| `mcp__supabase__apply_migration` | DDL operations (CREATE, ALTER, DROP) |
| `mcp__supabase__execute_sql` | DML/queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE) |
| `mcp__supabase__list_tables` | Verify schema after changes |
| `mcp__supabase__get_advisors` | Security + performance check |
| `mcp__supabase__list_migrations` | Check existing migrations |

## Anti-Patterns (BLOCK)

- `DROP TABLE` without backup/confirmation
- `ALTER TABLE` with data loss potential (dropping columns with data)
- Disabling RLS on tables with user data
- Running DDL directly via `execute_sql` (use `apply_migration` for audit trail)
- Missing `IF NOT EXISTS` on CREATE statements
- Forgetting to add RLS policies on new tables
