# Migration Guide

**Migrating from JSONB entity_versions to relational version tables**

## Status

✅ **Migration Complete** - The relational versioning system is now active. This guide documents the migration for reference.

## Overview

The old system stored versions in a single `entity_versions` table using JSONB:
- ❌ Not queryable
- ❌ No type safety
- ❌ Poor performance
- ❌ Complex RLS

The new system uses dedicated relational tables:
- ✅ Fully queryable
- ✅ Type-safe with foreign keys
- ✅ Indexed and performant
- ✅ Standard RLS policies

## Migration Timeline

1. **Phase 1: Create relational tables** ✅ Complete
2. **Phase 2: Enable triggers** ✅ Complete
3. **Phase 3: Dual-write period** ✅ Complete
4. **Phase 4: Backfill historical data** ⏸️ Optional
5. **Phase 5: Monitor** 🔄 Ongoing
6. **Phase 6: Deprecate JSONB table** 📅 Future

## Current State

- ✅ All new versions written to relational tables
- ✅ Triggers active on all entity tables
- ⚠️ Old `entity_versions` table retained for backward compatibility
- ⚠️ `src/lib/versioningHelpers.ts` deprecated but not removed

## Backfill Script (Optional)

If you need to migrate historical JSONB versions to relational:

```sql
-- Backfill park versions
INSERT INTO park_versions (
  version_id, park_id, version_number, created_at, created_by,
  change_type, submission_id, is_current,
  name, slug, description, park_type, status,
  opening_date, opening_date_precision, closing_date, closing_date_precision,
  location_id, operator_id, property_owner_id,
  website_url, phone, email,
  banner_image_url, banner_image_id, card_image_url, card_image_id
)
SELECT
  ev.id, ev.entity_id, ev.version_number, ev.changed_at, ev.changed_by,
  ev.change_type, ev.submission_id, ev.is_current,
  ev.version_data->>'name',
  ev.version_data->>'slug',
  ev.version_data->>'description',
  ev.version_data->>'park_type',
  ev.version_data->>'status',
  (ev.version_data->>'opening_date')::date,
  ev.version_data->>'opening_date_precision',
  (ev.version_data->>'closing_date')::date,
  ev.version_data->>'closing_date_precision',
  (ev.version_data->>'location_id')::uuid,
  (ev.version_data->>'operator_id')::uuid,
  (ev.version_data->>'property_owner_id')::uuid,
  ev.version_data->>'website_url',
  ev.version_data->>'phone',
  ev.version_data->>'email',
  ev.version_data->>'banner_image_url',
  ev.version_data->>'banner_image_id',
  ev.version_data->>'card_image_url',
  ev.version_data->>'card_image_id'
FROM entity_versions ev
WHERE ev.entity_type = 'park'
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING;
```

## Cleanup (Future)

When ready to fully deprecate JSONB system:

```sql
-- 1. Verify all versions migrated
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM entity_versions; -- Should match relational tables

-- 2. Drop old table (IRREVERSIBLE)
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS entity_versions CASCADE;

-- 3. Remove deprecated helpers
-- Delete src/lib/versioningHelpers.ts
```

## Rollback Plan

If issues arise, rollback steps:

1. Disable triggers on entity tables
2. Revert edge functions to use old JSONB system
3. Keep relational tables for future retry

**Note:** Not recommended - new system is production-ready.
