Description

First off: great work, i really appreciate your effort!

I have a question regarding the migration of an existing database. I already read the UIDs section of the documentation but i think my case is a little bit different.

Lets say i have following schema, already filled with data:

building 1toN apartmens

and i'd like to add a new tier to my hierarchy like:

building 1toN level 1toN apartments

How can i make sure that my apartment data is accessible after an update?
I look for an easy solution like "on update add a default level between building and apartments".

Is this possible with objectbox? If yes, how?

Thank you.

Start with the UIDs section of the documentation and the existing schema described in this issue. Determine whether the migration path supports inserting a level between buildings and apartments while preserving existing apartment data; done means a documented, supported procedure or a clear statement that it is not possible.
