-- Migration: Change transaction_date from DATE to DATETIME -- This migration updates the transaction_date column to store both date and time. -- Run this SQL on your MySQL database. -- Step 1: Modify the column type (preserves existing data - dates will have 00:00:00 time) ALTER TABLE `transactions` MODIFY COLUMN `transaction_date` DATETIME NOT NULL; -- Step 2 (Optional): Migrate existing transaction_time data into transaction_date -- This updates existing records to combine date + time into the transaction_date column -- Only run this if you have existing data that you want to preserve time info for UPDATE `transactions` SET `transaction_date` = TIMESTAMP(DATE(`transaction_date`), IFNULL(`transaction_time`, '00:00:00')) WHERE `transaction_time` IS NOT NULL; -- Note: After running this migration, the transaction_time column is no longer used -- but is kept for backward compatibility. New transactions will store full datetime -- in the transaction_date column.
