GNIP 19 - GeoNode Migrations

From:: Ben
Date:: 2012-01-13 @ 08:37

Hello there, 

I wanted to share with the group some issues/solutions we have thought 
about recently.

We are developing some applications within GeoNode and we need to be able 
to adjust tables and views frequently. Because of this we decided to use 
Django south and Django Schemata. This allows us to migrate DB changes, it
allows us to use multiple database schemas, and it registers the geometry 
columns.  

I apologies in advance of the limited documentation on the topic as we 
have been limited on time, Check the README here: 
https://github.com/gem/FaultedEarth-Django


Cheers, Ben

Ben,

Thanks for this info. Just an FYI, there is an GNIP under discussion
touching on the use of South. I take it you are +1 on using it in GeoNode
directly?

I've never used Schemata ... has anyone else on the list? Seems like an
interesting module.
