Clearing a gallery's expiration failed on every SQLite install with
SQLITE_CONSTRAINT: NOT NULL constraint failed: events.expires_at
surfacing in the admin UI as "Failed to update event".
Migration 061 added the event_require_event_date / event_require_expiration
settings and dropped the NOT NULL on both columns — but only for Postgres. It
skipped SQLite on the premise that "SQLite doesn't enforce NOT NULL as
strictly", which is untrue, so "never expires" was never reachable there. The
#426 work that allows clearing the expiration on edit therefore never worked
on SQLite either.
Migration 174 finishes 061 for SQLite. Knex implements .alter() on SQLite by
recreating the table; migration 073 already does that on `events`, so the path
is well-trodden. Postgres is skipped — it was handled in 061 and .alter() there
would needlessly rewrite a column that is already correct.
The test asserts against the real engine (the Jest harness runs SQLite) and
reproduces the reporter's exact error without the migration.

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:
- The
initializeDatabase()function insrc/database/db.jswill create all necessary tables - Only migrations in the
/coredirectory will be run - This ensures a clean, optimized database schema
For Existing Deployments
If you're upgrading from an older version:
- All migrations (both core and legacy) will be run in sequence
- The migration system tracks which migrations have been applied
- 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.
