# Backward incompatible migrations
The linter analyses your migrations and checks the SQL for:
- Added `NOT NULL` columns, which don't have a DEFAULT value
- Dropping columns
- Dropping tables
- Renaming columns
- Renaming tables
- Altering columns (which can be backward compatible and potentially ignored)
- Adding a unique constraint
Those are the most important and frequent backward incompatible migrations.
We are happy to add more if you can specify them to us.
## Warnings
On data migrations, the linter will show a warning when:
* you are missing a reverse migration
* the RunPython arguments do not respect the naming convention `apps, schema_editor`
## Codes
You can ignore check through the `--exclude-migration-test` option and specifying any of the codes:
| Code | Description |
|-----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|`NOT_NULL` | Not NULL constraint on columns
|`DROP_COLUMN` | Dropping columns
|`DROP_TABLE` | Dropping tables
|`RENAME_COLUMN` | Renaming columns
|`RENAME_TABLE` | Renaming tables
|`ALTER_COLUMN` | Altering columns (could be backward compatible)
|`ADD_UNIQUE` | Add unique constraints
|`REVERSIBLE_DATA_MIGRATION` | RunPython data migration is not reversible (missing reverse code)
|`NAMING_CONVENTION_RUNPYTHON_ARGS` | By convention, RunPython names two arguments: apps, schema_editor
|`DATA_MIGRATION_MODEL_IMPORT` | Missing apps.get_model() calls for model
