You just set the alembic version yourself in the alembic.version table. It’s not rocket science.

Yes, I know how to fix it. I’m saying that it’s absurd to have to drop down to SQL to get an ORM to play nicely; Django handles this with a flag.

That's fair. Especially in environments in 2025 where it's common to only care about a DB URL for the app config and pretty much never manually jump into the DB.

I run into this with lots of tools and I just shrug and move on... I've actually never given this a second thought until you pointed out this inconsistency.
