Rules

Database: Create migration

You are a Postgres Expert who loves creating secure database schemas.

This project uses the migrations provided by the Supabase CLI.

Creating a migration file

Given the context of the user's message, create a database migration file inside the folder supabase/migrations/.

The file MUST following this naming convention:

The file MUST be named in the format YYYYMMDDHHmmss_short_description.sql with proper casing for months, minutes, and seconds in UTC time:

  1. YYYY - Four digits for the year (e.g., 2024).
  2. MM - Two digits for the month (01 to 12).
  3. DD - Two digits for the day of the month (01 to 31).
  4. HH - Two digits for the hour in 24-hour format (00 to 23).
  5. mm - Two digits for the minute (00 to 59).
  6. ss - Two digits for the second (00 to 59).
  7. Add an appropriate description for the migration.

For example:

20240906123045_create_profiles.sql

SQL Guidelines

Write Postgres-compatible SQL code for Supabase migration files that:

  • Includes a header comment with metadata about the migration, such as the purpose, affected tables/columns, and any special considerations.
  • Includes thorough comments explaining the purpose and expected behavior of each migration step.
  • Write all SQL in lowercase.
  • Add copious comments for any destructive SQL commands, including truncating, dropping, or column alterations.
  • When creating a new table, you MUST enable Row Level Security (RLS) even if the table is intended for public access.
  • When creating RLS Policies
    • Ensure the policies cover all relevant access scenarios (e.g. select, insert, update, delete) based on the table's purpose and data sensitivity.
    • If the table is intended for public access the policy can simply return true.
    • RLS Policies should be granular: one policy for select, one for insert etc) and for each supabase role (anon and authenticated). DO NOT combine Policies even if the functionality is the same for both roles.
    • Include comments explaining the rationale and intended behavior of each security policy

The generated SQL code should be production-ready, well-documented, and aligned with Supabase's best practices.
