This is one of those areas where AI can look correct while being extremely dangerous. Database migrations are not just code generation.

They’re - data integrity, rollback safety, sequencing, dependency awareness and production state management

A migration that “works locally” can still create irreversible problems in production. AI is useful for scaffolding here, but blindly applying generated migrations without understanding the impact is asking for trouble.

Spot on, Suny. Scaffolding is the sweet spot, but AI lacks the "production empathy" to foresee a locked table or a failed rollback. It’s a tool for speed, not a substitute for DB oversight.
