+Database schema versioning
+--------------------------
+
+The Postgres databases of the exchange and the auditor are versioned.
+See the 0000.sql file in the respective directory for documentation.
+
+Every set of changes to the database schema must be stored in a new
+versioned SQL script. The scripts must have contiguous numbers. After
+any release (or version being deployed to a production or staging
+environment), existing scripts MUST be immutable.
+
+Developers and operators MUST NOT make changes to database schema
+outside of this versioning.
