Hi Dannon, Thanks, this helped. Just for the record: I did find a small typo in my mail and in your script : should be migration_tmp instead of migrate_tmp ;) Best regards, Pieter.

The sqlite database is in sqlite3 format, so you'll need to use 'sqlite3 database/universe.sqlite' to access it. The following should work: sqlite3 database/universe.sqlite '.dump migrate_tmp' > temporary_backup.sql sqlite3 database/universe.sqlite 'drop table migrate_tmp;' And, once that's done, verify that everything works as expected and that whatever table is in temporary_backup.sql actually did get migrated. -Dannon On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 8:41 AM, Lukasse, Pieter <pieter.lukasse@wur.nl<mailto:pieter.lukasse@wur.nl>> wrote: Hi Dannon, I’m facing the same problem now. Could you help me with the steps to delete the migrate_tmp table manually?

Might a stale migration_tmp table have been to blame? Yes, I've seen this before when I've killed (or otherwise crashed) a migration in process; migrate_tmp doesn't get automatically cleaned up -- and, to allow for recovery, probably shouldn't. Any idea what may have caused it in your case?For a development database I've most commonly just deleted the migrate_tmp table manually and rerun the migration. It's worth noting that *only* sqlite can have this problem, due to the way migrations work. -Dannon
