\ No newline at end of file +Migrations are a convenient way for you to alter your database in a +structured and organized manner. You could edit fragments of SQL by hand +but you would then be responsible for telling other developers that they +need to go and run them. You would also have to keep track of which changes +need to be run against the production machines next time you deploy. + +The database table **migration** tracks which migrations have already been +run so all you have to do is update your application files and +call **$this->migrate->current()** to work out which migrations should be run. +The current version is found in **config/migration.php**. + +****************** +Create a Migration +****************** + +.. note:: Each Migration is run in numerical order forward or backwards + depending on the method taken. Use a prefix of 3 numbers followed by an + underscore for the filename of your migration. + +This will be the first migration for a new site which has a blog.
