Design schemas & review migrations

Use AI to draft data models and migrations, then review constraints, locks and rollback.

Applied

Why this skill matters

Schema mistakes are expensive to undo once production data depends on them.

What to learn

  • Model entities, keys and constraints from real requirements
  • Check a migration for locking and data loss risks
  • Write and test a rollback or recovery path

Before you begin

Basic SQL and table design

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Build a work sample

Draft a schema for a small ordering system with AI, then run its migration on a test copy with sample data and undo it.

Evidence of progress

A reviewed schema and a migration tested in both directions.

This exercise is an original ToolGrail suggestion. Use public, synthetic, or approved data.
