 You can run the **\d** meta command on the **movies** table to see the structure of the table and confirm the **CHECK** constraints were created correctly.
 
+### Migrating to a specific version
+
+As an alternative to looking at the **schema_migrations** table, if you want to see which migration version your database is currently on, you can run the **migrate** tool's **version** command like so :
+
+```bash
+$ migrate -path=./migrations -database=$EXAMPLE_DSN version
+2
+```
+
+You can also migrate up or down to a specific version by using the **goto** command:
+
+```bash
+$ migrate -path=./migrations -database=$EXAMPLE_DSN goto 1
+```
+
+### Executing down migrations
+
+You can use the down command to roll-back by a specific number of migrations. For example, to rollback the _most recent migration_, you would run :
+
+```bash
+$ migrate -path=./migrations -database=$EXAMPLE_DSN down 1
+```
+Generally, prefer **goto** command to perform roll-backs (as it's more explicit about the target version) and reserve use of the **down** command for rolling-back _all migrations_, like so:
+
+```bash
+$ migrate -path=./migrations -database=$EXAMPLE_DSN down
+Are you sure you want to apply all down migrations? [y/N]
+y
+Applying all down migrations
+2/d create_bar_table (39.38729ms)
+1/d create_foo_table (59.29829ms)
+```
+
+Another variant of this is the **drop** command, which will remove all tables from the database including the **schema_migrations** table - but the database itself will remain, [along with anything else that has been created](https://github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/issues/193) like sequences and enums. Because if this, using **drop** can leave your database in a messy and unknown state, and it's generally better to stick with the **down** command if you want to roll back everything.
