prisma migrate resolve

Resolves issues with database migrations, such as failed migrations or baselining.

Command

prisma migrate resolve [options]

What It Does

Updates the _prisma_migrations table to manually change the state of a migration. This is a recovery tool.

Options

You must provide exactly one of --applied or --rolled-back.

Option	Description
--applied <name>	Mark a migration as applied (success)
--rolled-back <name>	Mark a migration as rolled back (ignored/failed)
--schema	Path to schema file
--config	Custom path to your Prisma config file

Examples

Mark as Applied (Baselining)

If you have existing tables and want to initialize migrations without running the SQL:

prisma migrate resolve --applied 20240101000000_initial_migration

This tells Prisma "Assume this migration has already run".

Mark as Rolled Back (Fixing Failures)

If a migration failed (e.g., syntax error) and you fixed the SQL or want to retry:

prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back 20240115120000_failed_migration

This tells Prisma "Forget this migration run, let me try applying it again".

Use Cases

1. Baselining: Adopting Prisma Migrate on an existing production database.
2. Failed Migrations: Recovering from a failed migrate deploy in production.
3. Hotfixes: reconciling manual database changes (rare).
