Watermelondb: Add backward compatible migrations for database schema changes
First, thank you for such promising tool. I'm considering to use WatermelonDB in react-native app. For me that's will be enough possibility to recreate local database from scratch. As I see now the easiest way is to create new db and drop old one. So, as I understand for creating we can just change db name? Is there some possibility to drop old db?

Right, currently the only way to migrate is to create a new database (you can make a new SQLiteAdapter with a different database name) and manually move the data.

Not currently.
Real migrations are coming soon. This is something I'll be working on this week and in the coming weeks. I know that this is very crucial for anyone who wants to use Watermelon in production.

@ymahnovskyy I'm working on this now. Check out https://github.com/Nozbe/WatermelonDB/pull/62 and let me know if this basic API would satisfy your needs

@radex seen the commits from yesterday, and the progress looks amazing. I'm also think this tool looks really promising, and I'm much interested in specifically this feature.
