:mod:`migrate` - SQLAlchemy Migrate (schema change management)
==============================================================
.. module:: migrate
.. moduleauthor:: Evan Rosson
:Author: Evan Rosson
:Maintainer: Domen Kozar <domenNO@SPAMdev.si>
:Source code: http://code.google.com/p/sqlalchemy-migrate/issues/list
:Issues: http://code.google.com/p/sqlalchemy-migrate/
:Version: |release|
.. topic:: Overview
Inspired by Ruby on Rails' migrations, SQLAlchemy Migrate provides a
way to deal with database schema changes in SQLAlchemy_ projects.
Migrate was started as part of `Google's Summer of Code`_ by Evan
Rosson, mentored by Jonathan LaCour.
The project was taken over by a small group of volunteers when Evan
had no free time for the project. It is now hosted as a `Google Code
project`_. During the hosting change the project was renamed to
SQLAlchemy Migrate.
Currently, sqlalchemy-migrate supports Python versions from 2.4 to 2.6.
SQLAlchemy Migrate 0.6.0 supports SQLAlchemy both 0.5.x and 0.6.x branches.
.. warning::
Version **0.6.0** breaks backward compatability, please read :ref:`changelog <backwards-06>` for more info.
