DeadWisdom / Migratory

Migratory (pronounced as a pythoner: 'MY GRAY ER EE') is a migration contrib app for Django. It both generates custom migration files for you and is a system for executing them. What's more, it works great in a vcs environment.

Migratory

So the idea is a django orm database migration system that:

  • Is simple.
  • Doesn't make you use sql. This is an orm, we shouldn't have to use sql.
  • Can be automatic. Predicts the migration script for you so you don't have to think about what has changed.
  • Works well in a version control system, or even distributed ones. Because damnit.
  • During the migration process, allows you to use the state of your previous models as if they were still there. This is key, and is not done anywhere else, as far as I know.
