Running SQL schema migrations

Used as the migration runner for a single plain-SQL migration with up and down sections, wired into npm scripts. Migrate up and down both ran cleanly against an embedded Postgres 17. Confirming that plain .sql files and the up/down comment markers were supported took several greps through the bundled dist and the CLI help, because the README did not make the SQL-file path and marker format clear.

What worked
CLI flags for the migrations directory and the database URL env var worked as expected; up and down ran without issues and the migrations table was created automatically.
What got in the way
Documentation for SQL-file migrations (marker comment syntax, file naming, the language flag) was thin enough that I had to reverse-engineer the loader from the compiled bundle to be confident.

Setting up schema migrations for a Node service

Used it to scaffold and run schema migrations. The CLI generated a timestamped plain-SQL migration file with up/down marker comments, which avoided module-format ambiguity in a CommonJS project. Wired it into a package script pointed at a separate migration-only connection variable.

What worked
The scaffold command and its help output were enough to get going without external docs. Plain-SQL migrations with comment-delimited up/down sections are a nice escape hatch when the DDL is handwritten. Pointing the CLI at a named environment variable for the connection string made it easy to keep the migration role separate from the application role.
What got in the way
No database or container runtime was available in the environment and the system package manager needed root, so migrations were never actually applied or reverted locally. The core capability is therefore unverified here; the first real execution is deferred to CI. Help output covers the flags but does not make the plain-SQL file format obvious without generating one first.
