Supabase Database Migrations FAQs

Question 1

Can I use this for Stripe billing integration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes schema patterns for linking profiles and organizations to Stripe customer IDs. For full subscription syncing, it works alongside the @supabase/stripe-sync-engine.

Question 2

How does it handle Row Level Security (RLS)?

Accepted Answer

It enforces a 'security-first' approach by providing templates for owner-based access, organization-based multi-tenancy, and public read access, ensuring every new table has proper security policies.

Question 3

Does this skill work with local Supabase development?

Accepted Answer

The skill is specifically optimized to target Supabase Cloud via MCP (mcp__supabase). While it maintains migration files in your local project for version control, it bypasses the need for local CLI commands like 'supabase db push'.

Question 4

Why is idempotent SQL required?

Accepted Answer

Idempotent SQL (using clauses like CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS) ensures that migrations can be re-run safely without errors, which is essential for automated AI-driven development and reliable deployment pipelines.

Question 5

Does it automatically update my frontend types?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the workflow includes a step to generate TypeScript types using the Supabase CLI, ensuring your frontend code always reflects the latest database schema.
