It's been almost 2 years. Lots has happened.
Migrations? Eh? A bit like a VCS, but for database
schemas.

Adding tables Deleting tables Everything else useful

Uh-oh, publicity
Closing this, as it's unlikely we'll write a model history
tracker in the near future, and django-evolution does this well - no need to reinvent the wheel in that area. “ “
Feature Creep (of the good sort)
start_field_re = re.compile(r'\s*%s\s*=\s*(.*)' % field.name) for line in source[0]: #
if the field was found during a previous iteration, # we're here because the field spans across multiple lines # append the current line and try again

Model Freezing
Historical ORM access Automatic change detection ‘Improved’ model parsing
Sanity Dawns
Introspection Magically supports custom fields Prevents hideous migration failure
SQLite Make new table Copy data from old table Delete
old table Rename new table
Signals Speed Simplicity
1.0
MultiDB? Non-relational? Renames!
Organic Growth But it's still cleanly separated
