Schema Migrations
|
||
=================
|
||
|
||
Over time, the ORM models in your application may change. Migrations provide a way to modify the database tables according to the changes in your models, without writing raw SQL.
|
||
|
||
The migrations that were applied to the database are recorded in the `infi_clickhouse_orm_migrations` table, so migrating the database will only apply any missing migrations.
|
||
|
||
Writing Migrations
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
To write migrations, create a Python package. Then create a python file for the initial migration. The migration files must begin with a four-digit number, and will be applied in sequence. For example:
|
||
|
||
analytics
|
||
|
|
||
+-- analytics_migrations
|
||
|
|
||
+-- __init__.py
|
||
|
|
||
+-- 0001_initial.py
|
||
|
|
||
+-- 0002_add_user_agents_table.py
|
||
|
||
Each migration file is expected to contain a list of `operations`, for example:
|
||
|
||
from infi.clickhouse_orm import migrations
|
||
from analytics import models
|
||
|
||
operations = [
|
||
migrations.CreateTable(models.Visits),
|
||
migrations.CreateTable(models.Visitors)
|
||
]
|
||
|
||
The following operations are supported:
|
||
|
||
**CreateTable**
|
||
|
||
A migration operation that creates a table for a given model class.
|
||
|
||
**DropTable**
|
||
|
||
A migration operation that drops the table of a given model class.
|
||
|
||
**AlterTable**
|
||
|
||
A migration operation that compares the table of a given model class to the model’s fields, and alters the table to match the model. The operation can:
|
||
|
||
- add new columns
|
||
- drop obsolete columns
|
||
- modify column types
|
||
|
||
Default values are not altered by this operation.
|
||
|
||
Running Migrations
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
To migrate a database, create a `Database` instance and call its `migrate` method with the package name containing your migrations:
|
||
|
||
Database('analytics_db').migrate('analytics.analytics_migrations')
|
||
|
||
Note that you may have more than one migrations package.
