Porting MVC Music Store to RavenAdvanced Migrations
time to read 3 min | 548 words

I noticed that I had  typo when I inserted the albums data, the artist data was stored as “Arist”. This give me a chance to show you how we can do a migration that is a bit more advanced.

using (var documentStore = new DocumentStore { Url = "http://localhost:8080" })
{
    documentStore.Initialise();

    var count = 0;

    do
    {
        var queryResult = documentStore.DatabaseCommands.Query("Raven/DocumentsByEntityName", new IndexQuery
        {
            Query = "Tag:`Albums`",
            PageSize = 128,
            Start = count
        });


        if (queryResult.Results.Length == 0)
            break;

        count += queryResult.Results.Length;
        var cmds = new List<ICommandData>();
        foreach (var result in queryResult.Results)
        {
            var arist = result.Value<JObject>("Arist");
            if(arist == null)
                continue;
                        
            result["Artist"] = arist;
            result.Remove("Arist");

            cmds.Add(new PutCommandData
            {
                Document = result,
                Metadata = result.Value<JObject>("@metadata"),
                Key = result.Value<JObject>("@metadata").Value<string>("@id"),
            });
        }

        documentStore.DatabaseCommands.Batch(cmds.ToArray());

    } while (true);
    
}

The code itself should be hard to follow I think, it shows how we can manipulate documents by working with the JSON document directly, instead of having to go through an object layer.
