prisma migrate status

Checks the status of your database migrations.

Command

Copy & paste — that's it
prisma migrate status [options]

What It Does

  • Connects to the database

  • Checks the _prisma_migrations table

  • Compares applied migrations with local migration files

  • Reports:

  • Status: Database is up-to-date or behind

  • Unapplied migrations: Count of pending migrations

  • Missing migrations: Migrations present in DB but missing locally

  • Failed migrations: Any migrations that failed to apply

Options

Option Description --schema Path to schema file --config Custom path to your Prisma config file

Examples

Check status

Copy & paste — that's it
prisma migrate status

Output example (Up to date):

Copy & paste — that's it
Database schema is up to date!

Output example (Pending):

Copy & paste — that's it
Following migration have not yet been applied:
 20240115120000_add_user

To apply migrations in development, run:
 prisma migrate dev

To apply migrations in production, run:
 prisma migrate deploy

When to Use

  • Debugging: Why is migrate dev complaining about drift?

  • CI/CD: Verify database state before deploying

  • Production: Check if migrations are needed (migrate deploy) or if a deployment failed

Exit Codes

  • 0: Success (may have pending migrations, but command ran successfully)

  • 1: Error

To check for pending migrations programmatically, you might need to parse the output or use migrate diff with exit code flags.
