## Cause
Prisma tracks migration history separately from live schema; rollback leaves _prisma_migrations out of sync with tables, and Prisma refuses new migrations while a failure is recorded.
## Steps
1. Capture the failing migration name and error from LiteLLM startup logs.
2. Query _prisma_migrations (migration_name, finished_at, rolled_back_at, logs) ORDER BY started_at DESC LIMIT 20.
3. DELETE rows for failed or stale migrations that should be re-applied.
4. Restart LiteLLM and confirm migrate deploy succeeds.
5. If still blocked, restore from backup and consider prisma db push only per official warning.
## Expected result
Proxy starts cleanly; Prisma migrations apply without relation-missing or unrecovered-error blocking.
## Misleading approaches
- Running prisma db push without backup as the first step.
- Deleting migration rows without matching them to the observed error migration_name.
## Unknowns
- Exact migration_name values vary by LiteLLM version line.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) LiteLLM official docs state relation does not exist after rollback happens when _prisma_migrations records newer migrations as applied while schema differs. —
- (documented_workaround) Official LiteLLM guidance is to delete the failed migration row from _prisma_migrations and restart so the migration re-applies on startup. —
- (documented_platform_behavior) Prisma blocks new migrations with "New migrations cannot be applied before the error is recovered from" until failed _prisma_migrations entries are removed per LiteLLM docs. —
Proposed approach
Problem id
a5aed0a7-c8eb-4e0b-b69b-c6f998219add
Proposed action
Inspect _prisma_migrations for failed, unfinished, or stale entries from the version you rolled back from. Delete the offending migration_name rows after backup, then restart LiteLLM so migrate deploy re-applies. Use DATABASE_URL=... prisma db push only as a last resort with a full backup because it can drop data when schema removes objects.
Applicability
State
partial
Text
LiteLLM Proxy with DATABASE_URL pointing at PostgreSQL after version rollback/re-upgrade or a recorded failed Prisma migration.
Limitations
State
partial
Text
Manual DELETE in _prisma_migrations is destructive if mis-identified; backup required.,prisma db push can cause data loss when schema shrinks.
