Migrations UNDER THE HOOD Andrew Godwin Migrations
Andrew Godwin Author of South migrations library Hi, I'm Author
of 1.7 Django migrations Senior Software Engineer at Eventbrite Apparently at every Django conference

(insert wavy memory effect!) Why do we need dependencies?
Makes all tables syncdb Sets all constraints Adds all ForeignKeys
Makes appA tables migrations Makes appB tables Adds FKs from
appB to appA Adds FKs from appA to appB
Makes appA tables migrations Makes appB tables Adds FKs from
appB to appA Adds FKs from appA to appB
The obvious stuff. Basic Dependencies
Or your database gets really mopey. FK target add before
FK added
In the general case; some DBs less fussy FK target
delete after FK deleted
Good luck doing it otherwise. Model create before field create
Also after field create Model delete after field alter
Stuff you occasionally forget Django has. Trickier Dependencies
And, of course, the reverse for deletion. M2M through model
before M2M
I'll let you figure out deletion reversals from now on.
MTI parent before MTI child
Index together, too Unique together after fields
Well done if you've actually used this feature. Order with
respect to after target
This happens when you turn proxies into real models. Same
delete before same create
Impossible dependencies
OH PLEASE NO TAKE IT AWAY Swappable models
Your migration dependencies myapp/0001 myapp/0002 otherapp/0001 auth/0001 contenttypes/0001
myapp/0001 myapp/0002 otherapp/0001 auth/0001 contenttypes/0001 thirdapp/0001 Your migration dependencies on
swappable models
what? Your migration dependencies on swappable models myapp/0001 myapp/0002 otherapp/0001
auth/0001 contenttypes/0001 thirdapp/0001 ???
what? Your migration dependencies on swappable models myapp/0001 myapp/0002 otherapp/0001
auth/0001 contenttypes/0001 thirdapp/0001 ??? argh
End of presentation. Click to exit.
They can't change at runtime, for swappable models or anything
else. Dependencies are static
(for a while, the answer was "careful function ordering") How
is it implemented?
no issues depend match shift operations restart
Using dependencies to define boundaries Chop operations into migrations
Optimisation
There's really quite a lot. Even more rules
create model + delete model = nothing create model +
create field = create model create field + alter field = create field alter field + delete field = delete field alter field + alter field = alter field
This time, with collapses rather than swaps Even more shuffling
can't reduce reduce possible check conflicts reduced, reset
Lets us be more verbose and clear with operations Applied
after autodetection
Makes your history a bit shorter Applied after squash
Loading & Graph
Builds graph of all basic migrations in memory Loads from
disk first
Marks applied state on each node Loads from db second
Only if all replaced nodes have same applied state Applies
squashes third
In-order list of all a node's ancestors in the tree
Graph returns "plans"
• Autodetector is slow • Optimizer is not great •
Graph state building is inefficient Room for improvement!
