# Description
In issue #1290 folks report difficulty running migrations on an existing
instance. The current migration table includes a `name` column, but no
`id` column:
```
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS migrations (
name VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY,
executed_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT current_timestamp
);
```
By changing the `migrations.sh` script to use the `name` field, the
migrations run as expected.
