The proposed feature involves refactoring the AutoMigrate capability in GORM to operate as an advanced, optional module instead of being a core integrated function. This change would allow developers to import and utilize the AutoMigrate feature selectively, similar to how database drivers are included, providing a more controlled and intentional approach to database schema evolution.
Motivation
The motivation stems from several key considerations:
Best Practices in Database Administration: Encouraging a clear separation of concerns between application code and database schema management aligns better with professional database administration practices. Allowing AutoMigrate as a plug-in emphasizes the importance of controlled schema changes through dedicated migration scripts or tools.
Mitigating Accidental Changes: By making AutoMigrate optional, developers are prompted to think critically about when and how they modify database structures, reducing the likelihood of accidental schema updates in production environments, which can be detrimental and difficult to revert.
Supporting Developer Education: Given that the official GORM documentation's first demonstration includes AutoMigrate, this change could be accompanied by updated guidance emphasizing the importance of managed schema migrations. This would help educate developers, especially beginners, on safer database management techniques.
Team Collaboration and Safety: In a team environment, having a mechanism to easily disable AutoMigrate at the project level can prevent unintended migrations triggered by other team members unfamiliar with the implications, enhancing overall codebase safety.

This suggestion aims to address the broader topic of database migration strategies within ORM usage and does not directly link to a specific open issue. However, it is relevant to discussions around best practices in ORM design, version control for database schemas, and the balance between developer convenience and system stability.
AutoMigration is more recommended for quick testing in a development environment. Additionally, we have organized migration-related documentation here https://gorm.io/docs/migration.html . Feel free to refer to or update the relevant information.
