Fixes #30226.

When one migration drops both a column and an RLS policy whose USING expression references that column, the planner emitted dropColumn before dropPolicy. Postgres rejects that ordering — DROP COLUMN fails with 2BP01 (dependent objects still exist) while a policy depends on the column.

After assembling the operation calls, the planner now hoists each policy drop ahead of the first column drop on the same table when it currently sits behind it. A policy drop only needs the table to exist, so the reorder is always safe, and calls that are already correctly ordered keep their exact positions — in particular, deliberate policy create/drop sequences are untouched.

Testing: new regression test test/migrations/rls-policy-drop-order.test.ts reproduces the issue (failed with dropColumn at index 0 and dropPolicy at index 2 before the fix) and passes after. Full PostgreSQL migrations suite passes (403 tests; the import-roots.test.ts file-level failure is pre-existing on main — it needs an unbuilt @internal/publish-surface dist); biome check clean on both changed files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed PostgreSQL migration ordering when dropping an RLS policy and a column referenced by that policy.
    • Migrations now remove the policy before dropping the dependent column, preventing database errors.

When one migration drops both a column and an RLS policy whose USING
expression references that column, the planner emitted dropColumn before
dropPolicy. Postgres rejects that ordering: DROP COLUMN fails with
2BP01 (dependent objects still exist) when a policy depends on the
column.

After assembling the operation calls, hoist each policy drop ahead of
the first column drop on the same table when it currently sits behind
it. The policy drop only needs the table to exist, so the reorder is
always safe, and calls that are already correctly ordered keep their
exact positions (in particular, deliberate policy create/drop sequences
are untouched).

Fixes prisma#30226.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PostgreSQL migration planner now moves RLS policy drops before referenced column drops. A regression test verifies the ordering when both the policy and column are removed in one migration.

Changes

PostgreSQL RLS ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Planner operation ordering
packages/3-targets/3-targets/postgres/src/core/migrations/planner.ts
The planner reorders calls so that an RLS policy drop for a table occurs before that table’s first column drop. Unchanged call sequences remain unchanged.
Migration ordering regression test
packages/3-targets/3-targets/postgres/test/migrations/rls-policy-drop-order.test.ts
The test plans removal of a column and its dependent RLS policy, then verifies that the policy drop appears before the column drop.

Migrations using quoted identifiers containing periods can receive unintended cross-table operation ordering. Use an unambiguous table key before relying on this ordering change.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use an unambiguous table key.

DropColumnCall and DropPostgresRlsPolicyCall preserve separate schema and table names. quoteIdentifier keeps periods inside quoted identifiers. Therefore, (schemaName: "a.b", tableName: "c") and (schemaName: "a", tableName: "b.c") are distinct pairs with the same string key.

A policy drop for one pair can then move before the other pair's first column drop. This violates the helper's same-table ordering contract and changes unrelated migration ordering.

Encode the pair structurally:

Proposed fix
-  const tableKey = (schemaName: string, tableName: string) => `${schemaName}.${tableName}`;
+  const tableKey = (schemaName: string, tableName: string) =>
+    JSON.stringify([schemaName, tableName]);
