Since 1.1.6
Source Code framework/db/CDbMigration.php
CDbMigration is the base class for representing a database migration.

CDbMigration is designed to be used together with the "yiic migrate" command.

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

Within each migration, the up method contains the logic for "upgrading" the database used in an application; while the down method contains "downgrading" logic. The "yiic migrate" command manages all available migrations in an application.

By overriding safeUp or safeDown methods instead of up and down the migration logic will be wrapped with a DB transaction.

CDbMigration 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 CDbCommand, these methods will display extra information showing the method parameters and execution time, which may be useful when applying migrations.

Property Details

dbConnection property

public void setDbConnection(CDbConnection $db)

Returns the currently active database connection. By default, the 'db' application component will be returned and activated. You can call setDbConnection to switch to a different database connection. Methods such as insert, createTable will use this database connection to perform DB queries.

Method Details

addColumn() method

public void addColumn(string $table, string $column, string $type)
$table string the table that the new column will be added to. The table name will be properly quoted by the method.
