# Migrate
Handle schema version mismatches when upgrading cqs.
## Process
### 1. Check current schema version
```bash
cqs stats 2>&1
```
If it works normally, no migration needed. If you see a schema error, continue.
### 2. Identify the mismatch
Errors tell you the versions:
- **SchemaMismatch(path, from, to)**: Index is at version `from`, cqs expects `to`. Auto-migration was attempted but no migration path exists.
- **SchemaNewerThanCq(version)**: Index was created by a newer cqs version. Update your binary.
### 3. Attempt migration
cqs attempts auto-migration when it opens the database. If you're seeing SchemaMismatch, it means no migration path exists for that version jump.
Check available migrations:
```bash
grep -n "migrate_v" src/store/migrations.rs
```
### 4. Rebuild if no migration path
When auto-migration isn't available, the only option is a full rebuild:
```bash
# Back up the old index (just in case)
cp -r .cqs/ .cq.backup/
# Delete and rebuild
rm -rf .cqs/
cqs init
cqs index
```
This re-parses all source files and re-embeds them. Notes in `docs/notes.toml` are preserved (they live outside `.cqs/`).
### 5. Rebuild references too
References have their own databases at the same schema version:
```bash
cqs ref list
```
For each reference:
```bash
cqs ref update <name>
```
If that fails with schema errors, remove and re-add:
```bash
cqs ref remove <name>
cqs ref add <name> <source_path> --weight <weight>
```
### 6. Verify
```bash
cqs stats
```
