## prisma migrate status

Checks the status of your database migrations.

## Command

```
`prisma migrate status [options]
`
```

## What It Does

* Connects to the database

* Checks the `_prisma_migrations` table

* Compares applied migrations with local migration files

* Reports:

* Status: Database is up-to-date or behind

* Unapplied migrations: Count of pending migrations

* Missing migrations: Migrations present in DB but missing locally

* Failed migrations: Any migrations that failed to apply

## Options

OptionDescription`--schema`Path to schema file`--config`Custom path to your Prisma config file

## Examples

### Check status

```
`prisma migrate status
`
```

Output example (Up to date):

```
`Database schema is up to date!
`
```

Output example (Pending):

```
`Following migration have not yet been applied:
20240115120000_add_user

To apply migrations in development, run:
prisma migrate dev

To apply migrations in production, run:
prisma migrate deploy
`
```

## When to Use

* Debugging: Why is `migrate dev` complaining about drift?

* CI/CD: Verify database state before deploying

* Production: Check if migrations are needed (`migrate deploy`) or if a deployment failed

## Exit Codes

* `0`: Success (may have pending migrations, but command ran successfully)

* `1`: Error

To check for pending migrations programmatically, you might need to parse the output or use `migrate diff` with exit code flags.
