A section for configuring indexes to be created by the migration generator.

for simple unique constraints. This is a tool to allow
for declaring more complex indexes.

Target: AshPostgres.CustomIndex
A section for configuring custom statements to be added to migrations.
Changing custom statements may require manual intervention, because Ash can't determine what order they should run
in (i.e if they depend on table structure that you've added, or vice versa). As such, any down
statements we run
for custom statements happen first, and any up
statements happen last.
Additionally, when changing a custom statement, we must make some assumptions, i.e that we should migrate
the old structure down using the previously configured down
and recreate it.
This may not be desired, and so what you may end up doing is simply modifying the old migration and deleting whatever was generated by the migration generator. As always: read your migrations after generating them!
custom_statements do
# the name is used to detect if you remove or modify the statement
statement :pgweb_idx do
up "CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING GIN (to_tsvector('english', title || ' ' || body));"
down "DROP INDEX pgweb_idx;"
end
end
statement name
Add a custom statement for migrations.
statement :pgweb_idx do
up "CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING GIN (to_tsvector('english', title || ' ' || body));"
down "DROP INDEX pgweb_idx;"
end
Name | Type | Default | Docs |

down {: #postgres-custom_statements-statement-down .spark-required} |

How to tear down the structure of the statement | |
code? {: #postgres-custom_statements-statement-code? } |
boolean |
false |
By default, we place the strings inside of ecto migration's execute/1 function and assume they are sql. Use this option if you want to provide custom elixir code to be placed directly in the migrations |
Target: AshPostgres.Statement

true |

update? {: #postgres-manage_tenant-update? } |
boolean |
true |
Whether or not to automatically update the tenant name if the record is udpated |
A section for configuring the references (foreign keys) in resource migrations.
This section is only relevant if you are using the migration generator with this resource. Otherwise, it has no effect.
references do
reference :post, on_delete: :delete, on_update: :update, name: "comments_to_posts_fkey"
end
Name | Type | Default | Docs |
---|---|---|---|
polymorphic_on_delete {: #postgres-references-polymorphic_on_delete } |
:delete | :nilify | :nothing | :restrict | {:nilify, atom | list(atom)} |
For polymorphic resources, configures the on_delete behavior of the automatically generated foreign keys to source tables. | |
polymorphic_on_update {: #postgres-references-polymorphic_on_update } |
:update | :nilify | :nothing | :restrict |
For polymorphic resources, configures the on_update behavior of the automatically generated foreign keys to source tables. |
reference relationship
Configures the reference for a relationship in resource migrations.
Keep in mind that multiple relationships can theoretically involve the same destination and foreign keys.
In those cases, you only need to configure the reference
behavior for one of them. Any conflicts will result
in an error, across this resource and any other resources that share a table with this one. For this reason,
instead of adding a reference configuration for :nothing
, its best to just leave the configuration out, as that
is the default behavior if no relationship anywhere has configured the behavior of that reference.
reference :post, on_delete: :delete, on_update: :update, name: "comments_to_posts_fkey"
