extension like django-evolution

I am in search for a extension that is similar to django_-volution. The requirement is to alter the database, whitout deleting the wohle data.

I don't know, but for me, this is something so ordinary - doesn't django have a built-in function like that?

django_evolution is still in working progress and has some bugs, so i want something that is stable and maybe has more options. Especially to write own mutations seems a little bit complex for me.

Does anybody know something similar?

Thanks for all answers

Solution

  • You're looking for South. It's currently the de-facto schema and data migration plugin for Django. I believe there have been talks about adding it to the core of Django. It has a bit of a learning curve but you seriously want to take the time and learn it.
