Drop. It is wasting cycles, and not something we should use in
production. Migrations specific to SQLPlus are the most time consuming
work-arounds we have. SQLPlus does not suit our development approach.

I was proposing a way to fix this for the murano project which
only appears to have four migrations so far, but with the
assumption that there are existing production environments which
cannot do a full rebuild.

My proposal was to essentially do both strategies. Build out
fully clean migrations from the start, but also add an additional
“conditional” migration that will repair a Postgresql / MySQL
database that is already at the head, and is detected as having
the older naming convention. Because openstack does not appear to
use offline migrations, this would be doable, though not
necessarily worth it.
If Murano can afford to just restart with clean migrations and has
no production deployments yet which would be disrupted by a full
rebuild, then sure, just do this.

an application that is deploying cross-database. Otherwise you
have no choice but to hardcode the naming conventions of each

migrations, assuming you don’t regenerate them, might just need to
be left alone, and the project proceeds in the future with a
consistent convention.

check the backend, as you’re doing now, in order to run, and yes
it would hardcode the names of those conventions, but at least it
would just be a one-time run against only currently deployed
databases. Since your migrations are run “live”, the script can
make itself a “conditional” run by checking for the “old” names
and skipping those that don’t exist.
