Use JSON column for metadata and switch from array to ranges

[ioan-alexandra]

added migration to convert the metadata storage from a separate metadata table to a JSON column in the simulations table

Hello @ioan-alexandra ,
I followed developer guide and migrated local Sqlite database.

uv sync --active
export DATABASE_URL="sqlite:///simdb.db"
alembic upgrade head

But when running command simdb --debug sim list throwing error. May be I missed something

sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) no such column: simulations.metadata
[SQL: SELECT simulations.metadata AS simulations_metadata, simulations.id AS simulations_id, simulations.uuid AS simulations_uuid, simulations.alias AS simulations_alias, simulations.datetime AS simulations_datetime 
FROM simulations
 LIMIT ? OFFSET ?]
[parameters: (100, 0)]

I think you've probably not updated your local database. For me it's located here:

$HOME/.local/share/simdb/sim.db

So in fact we should run:

export DATABASE_URL="sqlite:///$HOME/.local/share/simdb/sim.db"

Upgrading the local database will become a lot easier when we merge #66
