I'm in the process of building a Laravel application and I started with the database design. I implemented this directly on the commandline (mysql).
Now, I have this lingering concern as for what this could lead to in the coming development cycles.
I do know that I miss out on the version control as well as the rollback of database structure changes that php artisan provides.
- Are there other Laravel/PHP specific aspects I should keep in mind?
- Would you (Laravel developer), recommend that I recreate the entire database structure using
php artisan make:migration?
I could really use your input based on this situation of Laravel/PHP development in many cycles without database migration control?
Please advice.
