How to: Manage database in forge

@Robinvm you can do that with migrations, just make sure you have a backup of your project/data and try it on a local/development environment first..

https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/migrations

@SaeedPrez but with migrations the data inside is gone, i dont want that, i need to save it with a backup or something

@Robinvm you can modify tables/columns without refreshing the migration.. all the info is available in the documentation..

https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/migrations#modifying-columns

Just add the doctrine/dbal package and you can do it with a migration like @saeedprez stated. Look in the laravel docs under migrations.

https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/migrations towards the bottom of the page. Also, reference the dbal docs. Your data should not get destroyed but definitely do a DB dump prior to.
