Python package to migrate postgresql database

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/karenc/db-migrator.svg?branch=master https://coveralls.io/repos/github/karenc/db-migrator/badge.svg?branch=master

Settings

dbmigrator requires a few settings to work:

  • --migrations-directory: the directory that contains all the migrations

  • --context: name of the python package containing an entry point to the migrations directory

  • --db-connection-string: database host, port, name, user, password etc for connecting to postgres

  • --config: a config file that contains the above settings

See dbmigrator -h.

To set the migrations directory using an entry point, in mymodule setup.py:

setup(
    ...
    entry_points={
        'dbmigrator': [
            'migrations_directory = mymodule.main:migrations_directory',
            ],
        },
    )

Important note: For the settings from setup.py to be picked up, before running dbmigrator, first run python setup.py develop or python setup.py install.

Then in mymodule/main.py:

import os

migrations_directory = '{}/sql/migrations'.format(
    os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

or:

import os

def migrations_directory():
    return '{}/sql/migrations'.format(
        os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

or with a config file, development.ini, that looks like this:

[app:main]
db-connection-string = postgres://dbuser@localhost/dbname

generate

Generate a migration script in the migrations directory.

Example usage:

dbmigrator generate add_id_to_users

generates a file called migrations/20151217170514_add_id_to_users.py with content:

# Uncomment should_run if this is a repeat migration
# def should_run(cursor):
#     # TODO return True if migration should run


def up(cursor):
    # TODO migration code
    pass


def down(cursor):
    # TODO rollback code
    pass

init

Initialize schema migrations table. By default, all the migrations are assumed to have been applied to the database.

Example usage:

dbmigrator --db-connection-string='postgres://dbuser@localhost/dbname' init

There is an option to manually set the version of the database. For example, if none of the migrations have been applied to the database, you can:

dbmigrator --config=development.ini init --version=0

list

List migration versions, names, whether it has been applied and the date applied.

Example usage:

$ dbmigrator --config=development.ini list
version        | name            | is applied | date applied
----------------------------------------------------------------------
20151217170514   add_id_to_users   True         2016-01-31 00:15:01.692570+01:00
20151218145832   add_karen_to_us   False*
20160107200351   blah              deferred

A * in the “is applied” column means that the migration is a repeated migration.

To see the full migration name, use --wide:

$ dbmigrator --config=development.ini list --wide
version        | name               | is applied | date applied
----------------------------------------------------------------------
20151217170514   add_id_to_users      True         2016-01-31 00:15:01.692570+01:00
20151218145832   add_karen_to_users   False*
20160107200351   blah                 deferred

migrate

Run pending migrations.

For example, with two migrations in the migrations directory,

migrations/20151217170514_add_id_to_users.py:

from dbmigrator import super_user

def up(cursor):
    # TODO migration code
    pass

    # if a super user database connection is needed
    with super_user() as super_cursor:
        pass

def down(cursor):
    # TODO rollback code
    pass

and

migrations/20151218145832_add_karen_to_users.py:

def up(cursor):
    cursor.execute('ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN karen TEXT')

def down(cursor):
    cursor.execute('ALTER TABLE users DROP COLUMN karen')

To run the migrations:

$ dbmigrator migrate

or to run migrations up to a specific version:

$ dbmigrator migrate version=20151217170514
Running migration 20151217170514 add_id_to_users

if all migrations have already been run:

$ dbmigrator migrate
No pending migrations.  Database is up to date.

To write a repeat migration, make sure your migration has should_run defined:

def should_run(cursor):
    return os.path.exists('data.txt')


def up(cursor):
    with open('data.txt') as f:
        data = f.read()
    cursor.execute('INSERT INTO table VALUES (%s)', (data,))


def down(cursor):
    pass

The above migration will run every time migrate is called, except if it is marked as “deferred”. up is run if should_run returns True.

To write a deferred migration, add @deferred to the up function:

from dbmigrator import deferred


@deferred
def up(cursor):
    # this migration is automatically deferred

The above migration will not run unless you use migrate --run-deferred.

rollback

Rollback a migration.

For example, with two migrations in the migrations directory,

migrations/20151217170514_add_id_to_users.py:

def up(cursor):
    # TODO migration code
    pass

def down(cursor):
    # TODO rollback code
    pass

and

migrations/20151218145832_add_karen_to_users.py:

def up(cursor):
    cursor.execute('ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN karen TEXT')

def down(cursor):
    cursor.execute('ALTER TABLE users DROP COLUMN karen')

Make sure the database is up to date:

$ dbmigrator migrate
No pending migrations.  Database is up to date.

Now rollback the last migration:

$ dbmigrator rollback
