Checking database tables
We could use your own Mysql console to see if the tables were created successfully. However I will use another feature with a graphical interface that greatly facilitates the work, as it allows a faster and easier display, and perform operations on the basis of data very quickly.
As I am using Mac OSX I will use an application called Sequel Pro, it's a free and lightweight application to manage MySql databases.
Tip
You can find more information about Sequel Pro at: http://www.sequelpro.com/.
The previous command: sequelize db:migrate
created the tables as we can see on the following figures:
- This picture shows the Bands table selected on the left side, the right side shows its content with the properties we setup on Band schema:
Band table
- This picture shows the
SequelizeMeta
table selected on the left side, the right side shows its content withSequelize
files generated on theconfig/migrations
folder:Migrations files
- This picture shows the user table selected on the left side, the right side shows its content with the properties we setup on the User schema:
User table
The SquelizeMeta
table holds the migration files in the same way that we had on migrations folder.
Now that we have created the necessary files for data insertion in our database, we are ready to move on and create other files for the application.
