Hi merbers/merbists,

Learning about migrations through doing, I created a migration that
adds a name field to the users table. I also added a property to the
model class and then I realized that I am violating the good old DRY
and in a very bad way. (I use DataMapper for ORM)

One way to prevent repeating myself is not using migrations. However,
I suppose migrations have their role in a production env. since the
db:automigrate task drops tables first and db:autoupgrade can not
alter table columns. I now realize making db:autoupgrade work might be
the solution for this problem but I am very interested to hear your
thoughts. Is there another way? Maybe there is a way around the update
problem in prod. env.-s and so migrations are simply not needed?

Thank you,
Balint
