Info - Information lets you know where you are. At first glance, you will see which migrations have already been applied, which others are still pending, and whether there is a discrepancy between the checksum of the local file and the database schema table.

Validate - Validate helps you verify that the migrations applied to the database match the ones available locally. This compares the checksums to validate that what is in the migration on disk is what was committed into the database.

Migrate - After validate, it will scan the Database migration dir for available migrations. It will compare them to the migrations that have been applied to the database. If any new migration is found, it will migrate the database to close the gap.

Import - This allows the user to import a schema file into the migration, for example if the base schema has already been applied, then the user can import that file in so they can then apply subsequent migrations. Currently the import looks in the database_migration_dir for the file.

Checksum - Updates a checksum in the database. This is for advanced use only, as it could put the pyway database out of sync with reality. This is mainly to be used for development, where your pyway file may change because of manual applies or formatting changes. It is meant to get the database in sync with what you believe to be the current state of your system. It should NEVER be used in production, only initial development. If you require schema changes in production, create a new schema and apply that.
