django-pgschemas 0.9.0

Multi-tenancy on Django using PostgreSQL schemas.

This app uses PostgreSQL schemas to support data multi-tenancy in a single Django project. It is a fork of django-tenants with some conceptual changes:

• There are static tenants and dynamic tenants. Static tenants can have their own apps and urlconf.

• Tenants can be simultaneously routed via subdomain and via subfolder on shared subdomain.

• Public is no longer the schema for storing the main site data. Public should be used only for true shared data across all tenants. Table “overriding” via search path is no longer encouraged.

• Management commands can be run on multiple schemas via wildcards - the multiproc behavior of migrations was extended to just any tenant command.

Which package to use?

There are currently multiple packages to handle multi-tenancy via PostgreSQL schemas. This table should help you make an informed decision on which one to choose.

Breaking changes

v0.9.0

• Dropped support for Python < 3.8, Django < 3.1.

v0.7.0

• Changed public API for getting/setting active schema. Public API is now get_current_schema, activate(schema), activate_public(). Any schema descriptor can still be used as context manager.

• Changed location of tenant model and domain model in settings. TENANT_MODEL and DOMAIN_MODEL keys are now under TENANTS["default"] instead of TENANTS["public"]. This is required for future static-tenant-only configurations.

• Module cache renamed to contrib.cache.

• Module contrib.channels renamed to contrib.channels2.

• Added module contrib.channels3.

• Management command option --executor {sequential, parallel} renamed to --parallel.

• All signals renamed. Added schema_activate signal.
