Upgrading Realm databases created in .NET

I have been using Realm for a while now in a WPF app using Costura. https://blog.jonstodle.com/using-realm-with-fody-costura/

Everything is working fine, but when I try to open a database file created in .NET, I am presented with this message. I've updated all my nuget packages, as well as the realm-wrapper files in the costura directories. It occurs with old, existing databases as well as newly created ones.

Is there some sort of migration I can perform to update existing databases as well as create databases in this new format from now on?

Yes there is, when it comes to realm there are two things you can do:

  1. Delete the old db file and create a new one

  2. Use migrations. Migration in realm is seperated into two different parts

    • Schema versioning automatic migration
    • Schema versioning custom migration

There is alot to cover about these two subjects and it will be too long for this post. You will havae a better time reading it at realm swift guide part 6.
