Inspired by Ruby on Rails' migrations, Migrate provides a way to deal with database schema changes in `SQLAlchemy <http://sqlalchemy.org>`_ projects. Migrate extends SQLAlchemy to have database changeset handling. It provides a database change repository mechanism which can be used from the command line as well as from inside python code. Help ---- Sphinx documentation is available at the project page [1]. Users and developers can be found at #sqlalchemy-migrate on Freenode IRC network and at the public users mailing list [2]. New releases and major changes are announced at the public announce mailing list [3] and at the Python package index [4]. Homepage is located at [5] [1] http://packages.python.org/sqlalchemy-migrate/ [2] http://groups.google.com/group/migrate-users [3] http://groups.google.com/group/migrate-announce [4] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sqlalchemy-migrate [5] http://code.google.com/p/sqlalchemy-migrate/ Tests and Bugs -------------- To run automated tests: - Copy test_db.cfg.tmpl to test_db.cfg - Edit test_db.cfg with database connection strings suitable for running tests. (Use empty databases.) - python setup.py test Note that nose [5] is required to run migrate's tests. It should be installed automatically; if not, try "easy_install nose".
