Each database migration is defined as a PHP class extending from [[yii\db\Migration]]. The migration
class name is automatically generated in the format of `m<YYMMDD_HHMMSS>_<Name>`, where
* `<YYMMDD_HHMMSS>` refers to the UTC datetime when the migration creation command is executed.
* `<YYMMDD_HHMMSS>` refers to the UTC datetime at which the migration creation command is executed.
* `<Name>` is the same as the value of the `name` argument that you provide to the command.
In the migration class, you are expected to write code in the `up()` method to make changes to the database structure.
You may also want to write code in the `down()` method to revert the changes made by the `up()` method.
The following code shows how you implement the migration class to create a `news` table:

when you upgrade the database with this migration, while the `down()` method is invoked when you downgrade the database.

### Transactional Migrations <span id="transactional-migrations"></span>
While performing complex DB migrations, we usually want to make sure that each
migration succeeds or fail as a whole so that the database maintains its
consistency and integrity. In order to achieve this goal, we can exploit
DB transactions. We use the special methods `safeUp` and `safeDown` for these purposes.
While performing complex DB migrations, it is important to ensure each migration to either succeed or fail as a whole
so that the database can maintain integrity and consistency. To achieve this goal, it is recommended that you
enclose the DB operations of each migration in a [transaction](db-dao.md#performing-transactions).
An even easier way of implementing transactional migrations is to put migration code in the `safeUp()` and `safeDown()`
methods. These two methods differ from `up()` and `down()` in that they are enclosed implicitly in a transaction.
As a result, if any operation in these methods fails, all prior operations will be rolled back automatically.
In the following example, besides creating the `news` table we also insert an initial row into this table.
```php
use yii\db\Schema;
use yii\db\Migration;
class m101129_185401_create_news_table extends \yii\db\Migration
class m150101_185401_create_news_table extends Migration
{
public function safeUp()
{

'content' => 'content 1',
]);
}
public function safeDown()
{
$this->delete('news', ['id' => 1]);
$this->dropTable('news');
$this->dropTable('user');
}
}
```
When your code uses more then one query it is recommended to use `safeUp` and `safeDown`.
Note that usually when you perform multiple DB operations in `safeUp()`, you should reverse their execution order
in `safeDown()`. In the above example we first create the table and then insert a row in `safeUp()`; while
in `safeDown()` we first delete the row and then drop the table.

please refer to [implicit commit](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/implicit-commit.html). If this is the case,
you should still implement `up()` and `down()`, instead.
Applying Migrations
-------------------
## Applying Migrations <span id="applying-migrations"></span>
To apply all available new migrations (i.e., make the local database up-to-date),
run the following command:
To upgrade a database to its latest structure, you should apply all available new migrations using the following command:
```
yii migrate
```
The command will show the list of all new migrations. If you confirm you want to apply
the migrations, it will run the `up()` method in every new migration class, one
after another, in the order of the timestamp value in the class name.
This command will list all migrations that have not been applied so far. If you confirm that you want to apply
these migrations, it will run the `up()` or `safeUp()` method in every new migration class, one after another,
in the order of their timestamp values. If any of the migrations fails, the command will quit without applying
the rest of the migrations.
After applying a migration, the migration tool will keep a record in a database
table named `migration`. This allows the tool to identify which migrations
have been applied and which have not. If the `migration` table does not exist,
the tool will automatically create it in the database specified by the `db`
[application component](structure-application-components.md).
For each migration that has been successfully applied, the command will insert a row into a database table named
`migration` to record the successful application of the migration. This will allow the migration tool to identify
which migrations have been applied and which have not.
Sometimes, we may only want to apply one or a few new migrations. We can use the
following command:
> Info: The migration tool will automatically create the `migration` table in the database specified by
the [[yii\console\controllers\MigrateController::db|db]] option of the command. By default, the database
is specified by the `db` [application component](structure-application-components.md).
Sometimes, you may only want to apply one or a few new migrations, instead of all available migrations.
You can do so by specifying the number of migrations that you want to apply when running the command.
For example, the following command will try to apply the next three available migrations:
```
yii migrate/up 3
yii migrate 3
```
This command will apply the next 3 new migrations. Changing the value 3 will allow
us to change the number of migrations to be applied.
We can also migrate the database to a specific version with the following command:
You can also explicitly specify a particular migration to which the database should be migrated
by using the `migrate/to` command in one of the following formats:
```
yii migrate/to 101129_185401
yii migrate/to 150101_185401 # using timestamp to specify the migration
yii migrate/to "2015-01-01 18:54:01" # using a string that can be parsed by strtotime()
yii migrate/to m150101_185401_create_news_table # using full name
yii migrate/to 1392853618 # using UNIX timestamp
```
That is, we use the timestamp part of a migration name to specify the version
that we want to migrate the database to. If there are multiple migrations between
the last applied migration and the specified migration, all these migrations
will be applied. If the specified migration has been applied before, then all
migrations applied after it will be reverted (to be described in the next section).
If there are any unapplied migrations earlier than the specified one, they will all be applied before the specified
migration is applied.
If the specified migration has already been applied before, any later applied migrations will be reverted.
Reverting Migrations
--------------------
To revert the last migration step or several applied migrations, we can use the following
command:
## Reverting Migrations <span id="reverting-migrations"></span>
To revert (undo) one or multiple migrations that have been applied before, you can run the following command:
```
yii migrate/down [step]
yii migrate/down # revert the most recently applied migration
yii migrate/down 3 # revert the most 3 recently applied migrations
```
where the optional `step` parameter specifies how many migrations to be reverted
back. It defaults to 1, meaning only the last applied migration will be reverted back.
> Note: Not all migrations are reversible. Trying to revert such migrations will cause an error and stop the
entire reverting process.
As we described before, not all migrations can be reverted. Trying to revert
such migrations will throw an exception and stop the entire reverting process.
## Redoing Migrations <span id="redoing-migrations"></span>
Redoing Migrations
------------------
Redoing migrations means first reverting and then applying the specified migrations.
This can be done with the following command:
Redoing migrations means first reverting the specified migrations and then applying again. This can be done
as follows:
```
yii migrate/redo [step]
yii migrate/redo # redo the last applied migration
yii migrate/redo 3 # redo the last 3 applied migrations
```
where the optional `step` parameter specifies how many migrations to be redone.
It defaults to 1, which means only the last migration will be redone.
Showing Migration Information
-----------------------------
## Listing Migrations <span id="listing-migrations"></span>
Besides applying and reverting migrations, the migration tool can also display
the migration history and the new migrations to be applied.
To list which migrations have been applied and which are not, you may use the following commands:
```
yii migrate/history [limit]
yii migrate/new [limit]
```
yii migrate/history # showing the last 10 applied migrations
yii migrate/history 5 # showing the last 5 applied migrations
yii migrate/history all # showing all applied migrations
where the optional parameter `limit` specifies the number of migrations to be
displayed. If `limit` is not specified, all available migrations will be displayed.
The first command shows the migrations that have been applied, while the second
command shows the migrations that have not been applied.
yii migrate/new # showing the first 10 new migrations
yii migrate/new 5 # showing the first 5 new migrations
yii migrate/new all # showing all new migrations
```
