Will the sequelize update method create new columns in a table, if i pass an object with more properties other than the ones existing in the table?

Question

Suppose i have a table, let's consider a table Book with columns, title and pages. And now i am calling the update method on top of the table Book with an object having title, pages as well as price. Will sequelize create a new column for the price property or, it will just ignore the price attribute.

Answer 1

No, the update method is used for changing data in an existing entry. If you want to add a brand new column in an existing database without flushing it, you must first create a migration.

check this question out: How to Add, Delete new Columns in Sequelize CLI and also read up on the migration documentation here: migration docks

hope that helps!
