Migrate Data from Django 1.4 to Django 1.8

[Mayur Tanna]

Hi,

We have migrated the Django 1.4 application to Django 1.8 successfully. The Django 1.4 version of applicaiton is still in use in production until we go live with Django 1.8. The problem is that lots of data have been updated on production server which needs to be migrated to 1.8 version on local enviroment. Is there any way I can migrate the data from database of 1.4 to 1.8 except manually doing that? Note that the model/database columns are different in both the version.

Can anybody suggest some good options ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I did that a while back, I wrote my own SQL migration script that we tested with the production database in development. I think that would be the only way. Django doesn't know of the changes that you have made in your database models. However if you had started with the production database and then migrated up to the new layout in development, then that would have been possible.

Regards,

Andréas
