Cool. I really am looking for to it. I have a new project going in MR, and it's nice! I like all the auth stuff in one place...much simpler. WRT migrating my older app, though...ick. Do you expect more db-schema changes of this magnitude before 1.0? I've been in and out of the rabbit-hole of DML

I'm still poking away at db migration issues...this is a new one. The auth_permission table appears to have been rearranged, field-wise, when being installed new, vs. the ADD COLUMN DDL that's been suggested on the wiki: New install: sqlite> .schema auth_permission CREATE TABLE "auth_permission"

No problem...I completely understand. My guess was indeed exactly that...most development has been already IN M-R for so long, that all the issues have been caught and fixed bit-by-bit, over a long period. I'll go add the SQLite column rename workaround now, and get started on testing other fixes

2006-04-23 Thread Ken Kennedy
Hey all...I promise, I'm not trying to start trouble, but has anyone actually TESTED the "rename core database tables" DDL against anything? Not just for syntax validity (which, as of right now, I know it fails with SQLite), but also a comparison of post-migration DDL to "start clean" DDL (ie, are

"Rename core database tables" tested in SQLite?

2006-04-23 Thread Ken Kennedy
I'm trying to upgrade a small install in place, and note that the "Rename core database tables" scripts do a couple of column renames to django_content_type near the end. Has this been tested with SQLite3? It fails for me, and with a quick ref to the SQLite docs, I don't think it even supports col

I have to concur with Max here. I know it sounds like a pain to migrate schema changes BY HAND...but trust me, the tools don't help that much. I'm a DBA in my day job (MS SQL, Oracle, and Postgresql primarily), and the majority of the problems that occur when developers are trying to do applicatio
