Best practice: How to modify flyway migration script after it has been used

问题

I am looking for advise in the following case.

I set up flyway and migration scripts in my productive environment. On every deployment the database will be migrated to the current version. I already have created several migrations scripts which have been applied to the productive database.

Recently I upgraded my development MySQL tools which now include warnings about usage of deprecated functions and other warnings. These warnings have not been displayed in the old version. Of course I would like to fix the warnings, especially for the case when a future version of the database does not support the deprecated functions any more. But the migrations containing the warnings have already been deployed and used. If I change one of the scripts there is a flyway warning:

ERROR: Validate failed. Migration Checksum mismatch for migration 2.0
-> Applied to database : 1778293504
-> Resolved locally    : 1831545539

I could change the checksum which is stored in the database to migrate, but that does not sound like a "good" way to do it. What is the common way / best practice to change a migration script after it has already been used?

回答1:

The first rule is don't.

The second one is do it very carefully and use Flyway.repair() to realign the checksums in the DB with the ones on disk.

回答2:

I completely agree with the fact you shouldn't do it.

But if you really need to, you can change the flyway configuration and set the validateOnMigrate boolean as false.
