Database Migration Instructions

Add auth_provider column to users table

Run this command in your backend directory:

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:PGPASSWORD="recipes_password"; psql -h localhost -U recipes_user -d recipes_db -f add_auth_provider_column.sql

# Or using psql directly
psql -h localhost -U recipes_user -d recipes_db -f add_auth_provider_column.sql

This will:

1. Add the auth_provider column to the users table (default: 'local')
2. Update all existing users to have 'local' as their auth_provider
3. Create an index for faster lookups
4. Display the updated table structure

After running the migration, restart your backend server.
