Version

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 >=0.5 is supported only.

Warning

Version 0.5.5 breaks backward compatability, please read changelog <backwards-055> for more info.

Documentation

SQLAlchemy is split into two parts, database schema versioning and database changeset management. This is represented by two python packages migrate.versioning and migrate.changeset. The versioning API is available as the migrate <command-line-usage> command.
