I think you're correct. I was out of line by being too general.
For our large scale applications we back up the database and have required down time from our customers while doing a major migration.
Everything isn't always simple. But adding a check box in 90% of cases usually is.
- sontek 10y agoAdding a check box in a relational database most likely involves running ALTER TABLE to introduce a new column which in most relational databases locks the table. Now lets say you are doing 15,000 requests per second on that table.... is preventing those from executing acceptable in your system? Its not in mine which is why we don't run ORM generated migrations.
