django-north 0.3.1

Yet another way to manage migrations: DBA as a service

Django library for managing and executing hand-written PostgreSQL migrations.

Let your favorite DBAs define the database schema, and provide blue/green migration files. Drop django native migrations, and use DBA’s migrations everywhere.

Requirements

• Postgresql only
• Django v1.11, v2.0, v2.1, v2.2
• Running under Python 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8

Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-north.readthedocs.org.

Quickstart

Install Django North:

pip install django-north

In your settings.py :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "django_north",
]

NORTH_MANAGE_DB = True
NORTH_MIGRATIONS_ROOT = '/path/to/sql/migrations/'
NORTH_TARGET_VERSION = '1.42'

Running Tests

You will need a usable Postgresql database in order to test the project. For example:

source <YOURVIRTUALENV>/bin/activate
export DATABASE_URL=postgres://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/NAME
(myenv) $ pip install -r requirements_test.txt

Run tests for a specific version

(myenv) $ ./runtest

Run tests for all versions (if tox is installed globally, you don’t need a virtual environment)

$ tox

Using the project

Many operations are documented in the Makefile. For more information, use:

$ make help
