+Running SQL migrations manually
+-------------------------------
+
+By default, SQL migrations are executed automatically. The schema version is checked at each request.
+In this way, when you upgrade Kanboard to another version, the database schema is updated for you.
+
+You may want to disable this behaviour is case you have a specific configuration.
+For example, if multiple processes try to apply the migrations in the same time you might have some concurrency problems even if each operation is executed inside a transaction.
+
+To disable this feature, set the parameter `DB_RUN_MIGRATIONS` at `false` in your [config file](config.markdown).
+
+When you will have to upgrade Kanboard, run this command:
+
+```bash
+./cli db:migrate
+```
