Provides functions for maintaining database schema.
A database migration always provides procedures to update the schema, as well as to revert
itself. Diesel's migrations are versioned, and run in order. Diesel also takes care of tracking
which migrations have already been run automatically. Your migrations don't need to be
idempotent, as Diesel will ensure no migration is run twice unless it has been reverted.
Migrations should be placed in a `/migrations` directory at the root of your project (the same
directory as `Cargo.toml`). When any of these functions are run, Diesel will search for the
migrations directory in the current directory and its parents, stopping when it finds the
directory containing `Cargo.toml`.
Individual migrations should be a folder containing two files, `up.sql` and `down.sql`.
`up.sql` will be used to run the migration, while `down.sql` will be used for reverting it. The
folder itself should have the structure `{version}_{migration_name}`. It is recommended that
you use the timestamp of creation for the version.
Migrations can either be run with the CLI or embedded into the compiled application
and executed with code, for example right after establishing a database connection.
