PostgreSQL Migration Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Migrate elysia (Drizzle ORM + MySQL) and rust (SeaORM + MySQL) apps to PostgreSQL via direct cutover.

Architecture: Export MySQL data, convert schema to PostgreSQL format, import into target PostgreSQL instance, update app drivers and connection strings, deploy and validate.

Tech Stack: MySQL (source), PostgreSQL (target), Drizzle ORM (elysia), SeaORM (rust), pgloader or manual conversion for schema migration.

---

File Structure

Elysia App Changes

• apps/elysia/src/db/lib/database.ts — Replace mysql2 driver with postgres driver
• apps/elysia/src/db/lib/schema.ts — Replace mysqlTable with pgTable, update column types
• apps/elysia/package.json — Replace mysql2 with pg dependency
• .env or config file — Update DATABASE_URL to PostgreSQL connection string

Rust App Changes

• apps/rust/Cargo.toml — Replace sqlx-mysql feature with sqlx-postgres
• apps/rust/src/infra/db_setup.rs — Update DbBackend::MySql to DbBackend::Postgres, adjust SQL syntax
• Config/environment — Update DATABASE_URL to PostgreSQL connection string

Migration Artifacts

• mysql_backup.sql — MySQL dump (created during migration, not committed)
• converted.sql — PostgreSQL-compatible dump (created during migration, not committed)

---

Task Breakdown

Task 1: Backup MySQL and Export Schema

Files:

• Create: mysql_backup.sql (temporary, not committed)

• Step 1: Export MySQL database

cd /mnt/code/bp3/ultimate-asepharyana.tech
mysqldump -u <mysql_user> -p <mysql_password> -h <mysql_host> <database_name> > mysql_backup.sql

Expected: File created with full schema + data. Verify file size > 1MB (contains data).

-[]Step 2: Verify backup integrity

# Check row counts in backup
grep "INSERT INTO" mysql_backup.sql | wc -l

Expected: Multiple INSERT statements present. Note row counts for later validation.

• Step 3: Document backup location

Store mysql_backup.sql in safe location (not in git). This is rollback insurance.

---

Task 2: Convert MySQL Schema to PostgreSQL

Files:

• Create: converted.sql (temporary, not committed)

• Step 1: Install pgloader (if not present)

# macOS
brew install pgloader

# Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt-get install pgloader

# Or use Docker
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data pgloader/pgloader pgloader /data/mysql_backup.sql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub

• Step 2: Convert MySQL dump to PostgreSQL

pgloader mysql_backup.sql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub

Or manually convert if pgloader unavailable:

• Replace AUTO_INCREMENT with SERIAL or BIGSERIAL
• Replace DATETIME with TIMESTAMP
• Replace backticks with double quotes
• Update index syntax for PostgreSQL

Expected: Conversion completes without errors. Check for warnings about type conversions.

• Step 3: Verify conversion output

# If using pgloader, it creates converted.sql automatically
# If manual, save converted schema to file
cat converted.sql | head -50

Expected: PostgreSQL-compatible SQL syntax (no backticks, SERIAL types, TIMESTAMP).

---

Task 3: Test PostgreSQL Import

Files:

• Target: PostgreSQL instance at postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub

• Step 1: Connect to target PostgreSQL

psql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub

Expected: Connected to PostgreSQL. Prompt shows hub=#.

• Step 2: Import converted schema

psql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub < converted.sql

Expected: Import completes. Check for errors (should be none).

• Step 3: Validate table creation

psql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub -c "\dt"

Expected: All tables listed (User, Account, Session, Role, Permission, UserRole, ImageCache, etc.).

• []Step 4: Validate row counts

psql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"User\";"
psql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"Account\";"

Expected: Row counts match MySQL backup (from Task 1, Step 2).

• Step 5: Validate indexes

psql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub -c "\di"

Expected: All indexes present (email_idx, username_idx, userId_idx, sessionToken_idx, etc.).

• Step 6: Validate foreign keys

psql postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub -c "SELECT constraint_name, table_name FROM information_schema.table_constraints WHERE constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY';"

Expected: Foreign key constraints listed (User→Account, User→Session, etc.).

---

Task 4: Update Elysia Database Driver

Files:

• Modify: apps/elysia/src/db/lib/database.ts

• Modify: apps/elysia/src/db/lib/schema.ts

• Modify: apps/elysia/package.json

• Step 1: Update package.json dependencies

Replace mysql2 with pg:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "drizzle-orm": "^0.45.2",
    "pg": "^8.11.0",
    "elysia": "^1.4.28"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "drizzle-kit": "^0.31.10"
  }
}

Run: cd apps/elysia && bun install

Expected: pg installed, mysql2 removed from node_modules.

• Step 2: Update database.ts driver

Replace entire file:

import type { PostgresJsDatabase } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js'
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js'
import postgres from 'postgres'
import * as schema from './schema'

export type Database = PostgresJsDatabase<typeof schema>

let dbInstance: Database | null = null
let sqlInstance: ReturnType<typeof postgres> | null = null

export function initializeDb(databaseUrl: string): Database {
  if (dbInstance) {
    return dbInstance
  }

  sqlInstance = postgres(databaseUrl)
  dbInstance = drizzle(sqlInstance, { schema, mode: 'default' })

  return dbInstance
}

export function getDb(): Database {
  if (!dbInstance) {
    throw new Error('Database not initialized. Call initializeDb first.')
  }
  return dbInstance
}

export async function closeDb() {
  if (sqlInstance) {
    await sqlInstance.end()
    sqlInstance = null
    dbInstance = null
  }
}

Expected: File updated. No syntax errors.

• Step 3: Update schema.ts imports

Replace:

import {
  index,
  int,
  mysqlTable,
  primaryKey,
  text,
  timestamp,
  varchar,
} from 'drizzle-orm/mysql-core'

With:

import {
  index,
  integer,
  pgTable,
  primaryKey,
  text,
  timestamp,
  varchar,
} from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-core'

• Step 4: Update schema.ts table definitions

Replace all mysqlTable with pgTable and int with integer:

// Before
export const users = mysqlTable(
  'User',
  {
    id: varchar('id', { length: 255 }).primaryKey(),
    name: varchar('name', { length: 255 }),
    // ...
  },
  // ...
)

// After
export const users = pgTable(
  'User',
  {
    id: varchar('id', { length: 255 }).primaryKey(),
    name: varchar('name', { length: 255 }),
    // ...
  },
  // ...
)

Do this for all tables: users, accounts, sessions, roles, permissions, userRoles, and any others.

Expected: All mysqlTable → pgTable, all int → integer.

• Step 5: Update environment variable

Set DATABASE_URL in .env or deployment config:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://asephs:hunterz@100.108.1.124:5432/hub

                }
            }
        }

        // PostgreSQL index creation (different syntax)
        let index_sql = "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_image_cache_cdn_url ON \"ImageCache\" (cdn_url)";
        match db.execute(Statement::from_string(backend, index_sql)).await {

                    info!("   ✓ Index 'idx_image_cache_cdn_url' already exists");
                } else {
                    error!("   [!] Failed to create index on ImageCache: {}", e);
                }
            }
        }

        info!("✅ Database schema initialization complete.");
    }
    _ => {
