MagicMigrate is forked from Godwit, it aims to be a super duper slim and minimalistic tool to migrate databases.
Currently, it supports Microsoft SQL Server, using pymssql.
To install from source, MagicMigrate uses distutils, run this:
python setup.py installMigration is done through a number of SQL scripts. These scripts should be
put into their own directory (see the example directory). The scripts
must use the extension .sql.
Migration can then be run from the command line:
python -m MagicMigrate [host] [database] [username] [password] [script-dir] [version]This will connect to the provided host and database, and migrate
the database to the provided version using the scripts in script-dir.
Scripts must be given an integer version number, right after the first _ (underscore), and before another _ or a . (punctuation mark).
What comes before the first _, and after the second _, or first ., does not matter much, as long as the file ends on .sql
So, to give a few examples, these would all work:
Update_0.sql
update_01.sql
updat0rz_002.sql
update_003_customer_table_index.sql
update_4.create_delivery_table.sql
dropIndex_05_deliveryTable.sql
Versions will be kept in numeric order.
If the first line of your SQL script starts with --, excluding whitespace and line breaks, the rest of the line will be stored as a description of your migration, alongside the versioning.
