I'm vaguely familiar with the concept of migrating schemes and data with South, but now i'd like accomplish something a bit more advanced;
I have a model which holds a boolfield indicating status (active/not active), and now I need to add additional possibilities using an integerfield. The change itself is pretty straightforward using Souths schememigration.
Problem is I need to convert the statuses in the existing objects (some 400+) to integers (0 for false and 1 for true).
Is this even possible, or do I need to find another way?
This was pretty straight-forward after reading the docs (doh!).
schemamigration - add intfield datamigration - if bool >> int = 1, else int = 0 schemamigration - remove boolfield
