5934	Database Migrations	Patrick Altman <paltman@…>	nobody	"Something that is a bit of a pain, in an otherwise great web application framework, is managing database changes in a team environment.  Initially it took me a while to realize that syncdb wasn't really syncing the database with the models, it was only creating new models.  

What would be a great addition to django via manage.py would be something like the Ruby on Rails: rake db:migrate.  Schema/revision the database with a table that has a revision number, and allow, no encourage, evolutionary/agile database/model development by just adding ""database migrations"".

Is this on anyone's radar?  I know that I am not the person probably interested in such a feature.  I'd be happy to help any folks that are working on it.  Or provide more detailed specifications for what I think would make a solid tool.

Thanks, Patrick Altman"	New feature	closed	Core (Management commands)	dev	Normal	fixed	database db migration agile evolution	fred@…	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
