contao:migrate

This feature is available in Contao 4.9 and later.

With this command you can perform database updates and migrations after a new installation or update of Contao or an extension. The migrations that get executed are update scripts of Contao, registered migrations of extensions, legacy runonce.php files and the database update.

php vendor/bin/contao-console contao:migrate [options]
Option Description
--with-deletes Executes all database migrations including DROP queries.
--schema-only Executes database schema migration only. Update scripts, registered migrations and runonce.php files get skipped.
--migrations-only Only executes the migrations without updating the database tables and fields.
--dry-run Shows pending migrations and schema updates without actually executing them.
--no-interaction With this option enabled all confirmation questions are automatically answered with “yes”. This is useful if you want to execute the migrations in an automated system.
--no-backup since 4.13 Disable the database backup which is created by default before executing the migrations.
