# alembic_commands

# `prefect.server.database.alembic_commands`

## Functions

### `with_alembic_lock` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/database/alembic_commands.py#L22" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
with_alembic_lock(fn: Callable[P, R]) -> Callable[P, R]
```

Decorator that prevents alembic commands from running concurrently.
This is necessary because alembic uses a global configuration object
that is not thread-safe.

This issue occurred in [https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-dask/pull/50](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-dask/pull/50), where
dask threads were simultaneously performing alembic upgrades, and causing
cryptic `KeyError: 'config'` when `del globals_[attr_name]`.

### `alembic_config` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/database/alembic_commands.py#L41" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
alembic_config() -> 'Config'
```

### `alembic_upgrade` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/database/alembic_commands.py#L54" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
alembic_upgrade(revision: str = 'head', dry_run: bool = False) -> None
```

Run alembic upgrades on Prefect REST API database

**Args:**

* `revision`: The revision passed to `alembic downgrade`. Defaults to 'head', upgrading all revisions.
* `dry_run`: Show what migrations would be made without applying them. Will emit sql statements to stdout.

### `alembic_downgrade` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/database/alembic_commands.py#L76" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
alembic_downgrade(revision: str = '-1', dry_run: bool = False) -> None
```

Run alembic downgrades on Prefect REST API database

**Args:**

* `revision`: The revision passed to `alembic downgrade`. Defaults to 'base', downgrading all revisions.
* `dry_run`: Show what migrations would be made without applying them. Will emit sql statements to stdout.

### `alembic_revision` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/database/alembic_commands.py#L91" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
alembic_revision(message: Optional[str] = None, autogenerate: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) -> None
```

Create a new revision file for the database.

**Args:**

* `message`: string message to apply to the revision.
* `autogenerate`: whether or not to autogenerate the script from the database.

### `alembic_stamp` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/database/alembic_commands.py#L110" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
alembic_stamp(revision: Union[str, list[str], tuple[str, ...]]) -> None
```

Stamp the revision table with the given revision; don't run any migrations

**Args:**

* `revision`: The revision passed to `alembic stamp`.
