Luca 31867efcb9 fix(accounting): migration 127 must not insert created_at/updated_at into app_settings
The app_settings table (per its migration schema) has no created_at/updated_at
columns — the canonical seed pattern (migration 103) inserts only
setting_key/setting_value/setting_type. Migration 127 wrongly added timestamps,
so the insert threw `SQLITE_ERROR: table app_settings has no column named
created_at` on every run of the migration suite. That broke the backend test
job (cascading through every suite that builds the schema) and the
Postgres-based fresh-install + schema-drift jobs.

Fix: drop the timestamp columns from the insert, matching migration 103.

Verified: full backend jest suite green (67 suites, 736 passed); migration
harness still green.

Database Migrations

This directory contains database migrations for the PicPeak photo sharing platform.

Directory Structure

/core

Essential migrations that are always run for new deployments. These include:

  • init.js - Initial database schema creation
  • Backup service tables (029-035)
  • Gallery feedback tables (033)
  • Pre-generated watermarks (061)

/legacy

Migrations needed only when upgrading from older versions. New deployments can skip these as the core schema already includes all necessary tables and columns.

For New Deployments

If you're deploying this application for the first time:

  1. The initializeDatabase() function in src/database/db.js will create all necessary tables
  2. Only migrations in the /core directory will be run
  3. This ensures a clean, optimized database schema

For Existing Deployments

If you're upgrading from an older version:

  1. All migrations (both core and legacy) will be run in sequence
  2. The migration system tracks which migrations have been applied
  3. Only new migrations will be executed

Running Migrations

# Development
npm run migrate

# Production
npm run migrate:prod

Note on Duplicate Migration Numbers

The legacy directory contains renamed duplicates:

  • 014_add_host_name_to_events_duplicate.js (was duplicate of 014)
  • 027_add_rate_limit_settings_duplicate.js (was duplicate of 027)

These have been renamed to avoid conflicts while preserving the migration history.
