tcrayford: how would you mutate schema via backup/restore?

@robert-stuttaford: iirc: copy the data into a new database alongside the existing one. Not using datomic's backup/restore tools (shoutout too terminology)

oh. yuck

that’s lots of work

so, you can alter anything except type and fulltext. and you can get around those by making new attrs with the original name (after first renaming the original to something else) with the new type/fulltext setting and a manual batch of transactions to transfer the data

yeah, it's better than it used to be 😄
