Add info on migration strategies to docs? #78

Open akshitjain opened 9 years ago

akshitjain commented 9 years ago

Is there any function or we have to do it by going to the table definition and entering there.

Waterline does have migration strategies (alter, drop, and safe) that can be set per collection. The docs do need some info on that! @akshitjain do you mind if we rename this issue to "Add info on migration strategies to docs"?

In the meantime, @akshitjain, check-out http://sailsjs.org/#!/documentation/concepts/ORM/model-settings.html?q=migrate . Typically we say that only safe is suited to a production environment, which means you would have to do migrations manually. There is some talk about adding a create option, which would allow adapters to perform non-destructive migrations on their own, which might cater to a prod environment as well.

Addendum to what @devinivy said: even though create is not documented it's already implemented and working. More details on balderdashy/waterline#846.
