Testing PostgreSQL Migrations Before COMMIT

PostgreSQL enables testing migrations after application but before commit, ensuring integrity.

PostgreSQL allows engineers to test migrations after applying changes but before committing, providing a crucial checkpoint for verifying the migrated state. This capability helps identify potential issues, ensuring that the migration process maintains database integrity. By utilizing PostgreSQL's transactional capabilities, any failed validation checks can lead to a rollback, thus preventing partial failures and protecting against both syntactical and semantic errors.
