Resolve "Swap snippet_user_mentions to bigint (Self-host)"
What does this MR do and why?
This MR swaps thesnippet_user_mentions.note_id
and snippet_user_mentions.note_id_convert_to_bigint
columns for self-managed instances. This was already done for GitLab.com with Swap snippet_user_mentions.note_id to bigint (!115456 - merged). The process is outlined here.
The timeline for GitLab.com was the following:
- 15.9 Initialize conversion of snippet_user_mentions.... (!111253 - merged)
- 15.11 Swap snippet_user_mentions.note_id to bigint (!115456 - merged)
- 16.1 Cleanup PK conversion for few notes related tables (!123108 - merged)
Since we made the decision to commit schema changes to structure.sql
for the above MRs, we now need to take into account the state of the schema from which the self-managed instance was created.
