Practical guides to database schema changes with Ptah.
From OCI Artifacts to Database Plans in Ptah Operator
Follow a schema or migration update from an OCI registry to a verified database change, with real Ptah Console plans and approval decisions.
Find the Transaction Blocking Your Migration
Reproduce a PostgreSQL lock timeout, identify the open transaction, release it deliberately, and verify Ptah’s migration retry and final schema.
Qualifying Ptah Operator 0.2.4: What Broke and What We Changed
Ptah Operator 0.2.4 is accepted for production under a declared profile. This is what five releases of qualification found and what we changed.
Recover a Migration Directory After a Checksum Failure
Reproduce a changed migration file, restore its trusted bytes, and verify that Ptah preserves the deployed history and existing order.
Replace an Embedding Model and Keep a Way Back
Build a second vector generation with a real local model, compare retrieval, switch the application, and roll back when a corpus query ranks worse.
Watch a Schema Change in Ptah's Drift View
Schema drift means the live database no longer matches the schema file in Git. Add a column by hand, see the read-only viewer report it, then decide what to do.
Give Your Team a Database Reference They Can Open
Export a self-contained Ptah HTML reference with tables, relationships, navigation, and light and dark themes, then inspect the actual result.
Draw the Database You Actually Have
Turn a live SQLite catalog into a Ptah entity diagram, trace the order relationships, and retain both the inspected SQL and the generated image.
Read a ClickHouse Schema as a Columnar Design
Run Ptah migrations on ClickHouse, inspect MergeTree ordering and defaults, and verify the SQL export and migration replay.
Review a MySQL Schema Change Before It Runs
Generate a tracking-code migration for MySQL, review the native SQL, and verify old orders, application updates, and a fresh replay.
