deseb Django external schema evolution branch.

The Basics

Django, via the command ./manage syncdb, can automatically build a database schema based on your applications models.py file. However, after you’ve done this once, it leaves you with two unpleasant follow-up options if you ever make any changes to your model structure:

  1. destroy your existing schema (along with all your data) and let ./manage syncdb rebuild it for you
  2. manage your own schema upgrades by writing your own SQL

Project deseb aims to fill this void by providing s third option:

  • generate schema upgrades via the command: ./manage evolvedb
