Schema migrations can be quite lengthy, mostly if you made a mistake earlier. Some things that come to mind are changing a column’s type, or extending VARCHAR length (with caveats; under certain circumstances it’s instant).

Not OP, but I would consider this a data migration as well. Anything that requires an operation on every row in a table would qualify. Really changing the column type is just a built in form of a data migration.
