As applications evolve, so too must their underlying data structures. This process of changing a database&rsquo;s schema – adding columns, creating new tables, modifying constraints – is known as <strong>schema evolution</strong>. In traditional relational databases, this can be a perilous journey, often involving complex migration scripts, downtime, and a high risk of errors.</p> <p>This chapter dives into how Dolt transforms schema evolution from a high-stakes operation into a controlled, versioned, and collaborative process, much like managing code changes with Git. You&rsquo;ll learn the core concepts of Dolt&rsquo;s Git-for-Data approach applied to schemas, how to perform versioned migrations, and how to handle schema changes with confidence.</p>
