How to run specific migration or migrations in specific order?

[kyleerhabor]

I'm using the Diesel CLI to manage tables. I have a users table that references the images table with foreign keys. I don't see how I'd be able to run a specific migration or run the migration in a specific order. The users table is being run first when I run diesel migration run, and since the images table doesn't exist yet, it fails, saying relation "images" does not exist.

Diesel's migrations are inherently ordered, by the order you've created the migrations via diesel migration generate (or technically speaking by the part of the migration directory before the first _.)
So if you have a migration that depends on a other migration just put it into a migration with a larger version that the one it depends on. See the documentation of the diesel_migrations crate for details.

Thanks for the response. I decided to prefix migrations with a number (e.g. v1) to make the ordering easier, which solved my problem.
