Hi @mubashirrehman9 welcome 👋

It’s not possible to add database schema and migrations to the TypeScript support in the game server. There’s never a need to use the custom SQL support which is exposed via the server framework. In the 7 years I’ve worked with different game teams to build almost all aspects of their metagame (inventory, trading, virtual store, etc, etc.) I’ve never seen a need to use more than Nakama’s storage engine, and other builtin features.

Have you tried to use the features already available in the game server?
