Synnefo

To initialise south migrations in your database the following commands must be executed:

    $ ./bin/python manage.py syncdb       # Create / update the database with the south tables

    $ ./bin/python manage.py migrate db   # Perform migration in the database

Note that syncdb will create the latest models that exist in the db app, so some migrations may fail.

If you are sure a migration has already taken place you must use the "--fake" option, to apply it.

For example:

    $ ./bin/python manage.py migrate db 0001 --fake

To be sure that all migrations are applied type:

    $ ./bin/python manage.py migrate db --list

All starred migrations are applied.

Remember, the migration is performed mainly for the data, not for the database schema. If you do not want to migrate the

data, a syncdb and fake migrations for all the migration versions will suffice.

*Schema migrations:

Do not use the syncdb management command. It can only be used

the first time and/or if you drop the database and must recreate it from scratch.

See "Initial Migration" section.
