Hi,

Should the “schema migrations” table have more than one row??? If yes
how
do you know what the current version is supposed to be?

I noted mine looks like the following. Is this a problem?

mysql> select * from schema_migrations;
±---------------+
| version |
±---------------+
| 1 |
| 10 |
| 11 |

I’m guessing that it needs to keep the whole list of migration versions
given there’s been a change in the way migration version naming are
created. So in this case Rails would check to see for each migration,
whether there is already an entry in the “schema_migrations” table, and
if
there is it would assume the migration has been applied.

Is this correct?

Yes, you are correct.
