@alfred1963 are you running on Xcode 11.4 Beta? If so, that’s a known issue with the 5.2 compiler and you need to provide the full database identifier. If not, does `Acronym` conform to `SQLiteModel`? ---

UPDATE: I found the solution at: [Vapor 3: Swift 5.2 Regression - Vapor - Swift Forums](https://forums.swift.org/t/vapor-3-swift-5-2-regression/34764) ~~Please. I upgrade to Swift 5.2 compiler and now I am getting same error. I didn’t figure out how ‘provide full database identifier’. Could you give me a example? My Code is ` migrations.add(model: Todo.self, database: .sqlite)` ---
