Hey, Is there any way to programmatically set the room db version number programmatically, at runtime?

It seems like thats not possible based on the message im getting when i try
`An annotation argument must be a compile-time constant`

I’m just wondering if there’s another api that could help with this?

Because I need to be able to migrate the database from the server. Obviously Room wont be able to help use access any data that we add this way but I thought it might be ideal to let room manage the migrations still. Doing it with that underlying `SQLiteDatabase` seems like it may work fine though

I'm still confused. What will determine your database version number? Room does a lot of validation and code generation at compile time, so I'm not sure it's gonna work well for this

yeah, thats the conclusion i’ve come to as well
