 # Database Migrations
 
 # Database Migrations
 

-This page describes database migrations necessary to update existing databases
-to newer versions of Nominatim.
+Nominatim offers automatic migrations since version 3.7. Please follow
+the following steps:

 
 

-SQL statements should be executed from the PostgreSQL commandline. Execute
-`psql nominatim` to enter command line mode.
+* Stop any updates that are potentially running
+* Update the backend: `pip install -U nominatim-db`
+* Go to your project directory and run `nominatim admin --migrate`
+* Update the frontend: `pip install -U nominatim-api`
+* (optionally) Restart updates

 
 

-## 3.5.0 -> master
+If you are still using CMake for the installation of Nominatim, then you
+need to update the software in one step before migrating the database.
+It is not recommended to do this while the machine is serving requests.
+
+Below you find additional migrations and hints about other structural and
+breaking changes. **Please read them before running the migration.**
+
+!!! note
+    If you are migrating from a version <3.6, then you still have to follow
+    the manual migration steps up to 3.6.
+
+## 4.4.0 -> master
+
+### New structure for Python packages
+
+The nominatim Python package has been split into `nominatim-db` and `nominatim-api`.
+Any imports need to be adapted accordingly.
+
+If you are running the Python frontend, change the server module from
+`nominatim.server.falcon.server` to `nominatim_api.server.falcon.server`.
+
+If you are using the Nominatim library, all imports need to be changed
+from `nominatim.api.<module>` to `nominatim_api.<module>`.
+
+If you have written custom tokenizers or sanitizers, the appropriate modules
+are now found in `nominatim_db`.
+
+## 4.2.0 -> 4.3.0
+
+### New indexes for reverse lookup
+
+The reverse lookup algorithm has changed slightly to improve performance.
+This change needs a different index in the database. The required index
+will be automatically build during migration. Until the new index is available
+performance of the /reverse endpoint is significantly reduced. You should
+therefore either remove traffic from the machine before attempting a
+version update or create the index manually **before** starting the update
+using the following SQL:
+
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_placex_geometry_reverse_lookupPlaceNode
+  ON placex USING gist (ST_Buffer(geometry, reverse_place_diameter(rank_search)))
+  WHERE rank_address between 4 and 25 AND type != 'postcode'
+    AND name is not null AND linked_place_id is null AND osm_type = 'N';
+```
+
+## 4.0.0 -> 4.1.0
+
+### ICU tokenizer is the new default
+
+Nominatim now installs the [ICU tokenizer](../customize/Tokenizers.md#icu-tokenizer)
+by default. This only has an effect on newly installed databases. When
+updating older databases, it keeps its installed tokenizer. If you still
+run with the legacy tokenizer, make sure to compile Nominatim with the
+PostgreSQL module, see [Installation](Installation.md#building-nominatim).
+
+### geocodejson output changed
+
+The `type` field of the geocodejson output has changed. It now contains
+the address class of the object instead of the value of the OSM tag. If
+your client has used the `type` field, switch them to read `osm_value`
+instead.
+
+## 3.7.0 -> 4.0.0
+
+### NOMINATIM_PHRASE_CONFIG removed
+
+Custom blacklist configurations for special phrases now need to be handed
+with the `--config` parameter to `nominatim special-phrases`. Alternatively
+you can put your custom configuration in the project directory in a file
+named `phrase-settings.json`.
+
+Version 3.8 also removes the automatic converter for the php format of
+the configuration in older versions. If you are updating from Nominatim < 3.7
+and still work with a custom `phrase-settings.php`, you need to manually
+convert it into a json format.
+
+### PHP utils removed
+
+The old PHP utils have now been removed completely. You need to switch to
+the appropriate functions of the nominatim  command line tool. See
+[Introducing `nominatim` command line tool](#introducing-nominatim-command-line-tool)
+below.
+
+## 3.6.0 -> 3.7.0
+
+### New format and name of configuration file
+
+The configuration for an import is now saved in a `.env` file in the project
+directory. This file follows the dotenv format. For more information, see
+the [installation chapter](Import.md#configuration-setup-in-env).
+
+To migrate to the new system, create a new project directory, add the `.env`
+file and port your custom configuration from `settings/local.php`. Most
+settings are named similar and only have received a `NOMINATIM_` prefix.
+Use the default settings in `settings/env.defaults` as a reference.
+
+### New location for data files
+
+External data files for Wikipedia importance, postcodes etc. are no longer
+expected to reside in the source tree by default. Instead they will be searched
+in the project directory. If you have an automated setup script you must
+either adapt the download location or explicitly set the location of the
+files to the old place in your `.env`.
+
+### Introducing `nominatim` command line tool
+
+The various php utilities have been replaced with a single `nominatim`
+command line tool. Make sure to adapt any scripts. There is no direct 1:1
+matching between the old utilities and the commands of nominatim CLI. The
+following list gives you a list of nominatim sub-commands that contain
+functionality of each script:
+
+* ./utils/setup.php: `import`, `freeze`, `refresh`
+* ./utils/update.php: `replication`, `add-data`, `index`, `refresh`
+* ./utils/specialphrases.php: `special-phrases`
+* ./utils/check_import_finished.php: `admin`
+* ./utils/warm.php: `admin`
+* ./utils/export.php: `export`
+
+Try `nominatim <command> --help` for more information about each subcommand.
+
+`./utils/query.php` no longer exists in its old form. `nominatim search`
+provides a replacement but returns different output.
+
+### Switch to normalized house numbers
+
+The housenumber column in the placex table uses now normalized version.
+The automatic migration step will convert the column but this may take a
+very long time. It is advisable to take the machine offline while doing that.
+
+## 3.5.0 -> 3.6.0
+
+### Change of layout of search_name_* tables
+
+The table need a different index for nearest place lookup. Recreate the
+indexes using the following shell script:
+
+```bash
+for table in `psql -d nominatim -c "SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE tablename LIKE 'search_name_%'" -tA | grep -v search_name_blank`;
+do
+    psql -d nominatim -c "DROP INDEX idx_${table}_centroid_place; CREATE INDEX idx_${table}_centroid_place ON ${table} USING gist (centroid) WHERE ((address_rank >= 2) AND (address_rank <= 25)); DROP INDEX idx_${table}_centroid_street; CREATE INDEX idx_${table}_centroid_street ON ${table} USING gist (centroid) WHERE ((address_rank >= 26) AND (address_rank <= 27))";
+done
+```
