+##### doctor recreate-table
+
+Sometimes when there are migrations the old columns and default values may be left
+unchanged in the database schema. This may lead to warning such as:
+
+```
+2020/08/02 11:32:29 ...rm/session_schema.go:360:Sync2() [W] Table user Column keep_activity_private db default is , struct default is 0
+```
+
+You can cause Gitea to recreate these tables and copy the old data into the new table
+with the defaults set appropriately by using:
+
+```
+gitea doctor recreate-table user
+```
+
+You can ask gitea to recreate multiple tables using:
+
+```
+gitea doctor recreate-table table1 table2 ...
+```
+
+And if you would like Gitea to recreate all tables simply call:
+
+```
+gitea doctor recreate-table
+```
+
+It is highly recommended to back-up your database before running these commands.
