Django schema evolution

Rambling on about Django 54 months ago.

I think it's time to share my code for semi-automated Django schema migrations.

Big fat disclaimer: This is alpha quality code, don't cry to me if it breaks in to your house and drinks all your milk.

  • It's based on DbMigration, so if you haven't heard of that you'll want to read that first.

  • Read the first cut of the DbEvolution documentation.

  • Now download DbEvolution v0.1

    • Extract it to a Python visible path,
    • Apply the patch to django/core/management.py,
    • Give me some feedback.

hi, is there a google code project for this? I think from a conceptional standpoint this is much better then the dbevolution app. Or do you have an updated version?

Hi Patrick - there is neither a Google code project nor an updated version.
I'm spending my effort focusing on helping out with http://code.google.com/p/django-evolution/ - I suggest you look there :)

Hey man. Thanks for the work you did on this and for helping with "django-evolution". Area Code's South project seems to have really picked up steam. You might consider moving on over to there.
