Migration is the base class for representing a database migration.

Migration is designed to be used together with the "yii migrate" command.

Each child class of Migration represents an individual database migration which is identified by the child class name.

Within each migration, the up() method should be overridden to contain the logic for "upgrading" the database; while the down() method for the "downgrading" logic. The "yii migrate" command manages all available migrations in an application.

If the database supports transactions, you may also override safeUp() and safeDown() so that if anything wrong happens during the upgrading or downgrading, the whole migration can be reverted in a whole.

Note that some DB queries in some DBMS cannot be put into a transaction. For some examples, please refer to implicit commit. If this is the case, you should still implement up() and down(), instead.

Migration provides a set of convenient methods for manipulating database data and schema. For example, the insert() method can be used to easily insert a row of data into a database table; the createTable() method can be used to create a database table. Compared with the same methods in yii\db\Command, these methods will display extra information showing the method parameters and execution time, which may be useful when applying migrations.

For more details and usage information on Migration, see the guide article on Migration.

MethodDescriptionDefined By
beginCommand() Prepares for a command to be executed, and outputs to the console. yii\db\Migration
endCommand() Finalizes after the command has been executed, and outputs to the console the time elapsed. yii\db\Migration
getDb() yii\db\Migration

Property Details

$compact public property (available since version 2.0.13)

Indicates whether the console output should be compacted. If this is set to true, the individual commands ran within the migration will not be output to the console. Default is false, in other words the output is fully verbose by default.

public boolean $compact = false
$db public property

The DB connection object or the application component ID of the DB connection that this migration should work with. Starting from version 2.0.2, this can also be a configuration array for creating the object.

Note that when a Migration object is created by the migrate command, this property will be overwritten by the command. If you do not want to use the DB connection provided by the command, you may override the init() method like the following:

public function init()
{
    $this->db = 'db2';
    parent::init();
}
public yii\db\Connection|array|string $db = 'db'
$maxSqlOutputLength public property (available since version 2.0.13)

Max number of characters of the SQL outputted. Useful for reduction of long statements and making console output more compact.

public integer $maxSqlOutputLength = null
