Implement schema update
Create a new ES6 file in your plugin’s CSE directory. If your plugin’s name is de.acme.projectxtutorial
then cmsbs-conf/cse/plugins/de.acme.projectxtutorial/callback/DbSchemaUpdate.es6mjs
would be a good choice:

/// <reference path="../../../.vscode.js"/> const SQL = UM.config.sql; export default class DbSchemaMigration extends PluginSchemaMigration { schemaUpdate_0_1(scr) { // Create column for primary attribute "new_attribute": this.primaryAddColumn(scr, UM.config.getAttribute('new_attribute')); // Alter primary attribute's column according to the current settings from *.attributes file: this.primaryModifyColumn(scr, UM.config.getAttribute('altered_attribute')); // Create column for new table attribute's column: this.tableAddColumn(scr, UM.config.getAttribute('table_attribute->new_column')); // Alter table attribute's column according to the current settings from *.attributes file: this.tableModifyColumn(scr, UM.config.getAttribute('table_attribute->altered_column')); // Issue SQL statement to create an INDEX: this.primaryAddIndex(scr, UM.config.getAttribute('new_attribute')); // Issue SQL statement to mass-update some user entries: const update1 = new SqlQuery(`UPDATE ${SQL.qualifyTable('users')} SET p_entrytype='user' WHERE p_entrytype IS NULL`); scr.add(update1); // Issue SQL statement to mass-update some user entries: const update2 = new SqlQuery(`UPDATE ${SQL.qualifyTable('users')} SET p_entrytype='customer' WHERE p_entrytype='user'`); scr.add(update2); } } // Don't forget to export the class to the respective namespace: de.acme.projectxtutorial.DbSchemaMigration = DbSchemaMigration; |

There are several helper methods available to accomplish common tasks like adding or altering columns or executing custom SQL statements:

Please keep in mind that a database schema update cannot be undone automatically! Have a fresh backup at hand to be able to rollback the database if needed. |
