-- Safe: Add nullable column

-- Safe: Add column with default

-- Unsafe: Add NOT NULL without default
-- ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN required_field TEXT NOT NULL; -- DON'T DO THIS

// Step 3: Update application to use new column
// Deploy code that writes to both columns

// Step 4: Stop writing to old column
// Deploy code that only uses new column

// Step 5: Remove old column (separate migration)

// Deploy code that doesn't read the column

// Step 2: Stop writing the column in code
// Deploy code that doesn't write the column

// Step 3: Remove the column
