Alembic has commands to upgrade and downgrade to a specific revision, e.g. on the command line:
alembic upgrade <target-revision>
And
alembic downgrade <target-revision>
Is there a simple way to migrate to a specific revision if you don't know whether it's an upgrade or a downgrade? i.e.
alembic migrate <target-revision>
I can work out the direction by looking at the history, current and target revisions, but this feels like fighting the library. Am I missing something or is there a reason why this isn't provided out of the box?
It turns out there's a very simple, pragmatic solution to this:
alembic upgrade <target-revision> || alembic downgrade <target-revision>
