Hi all,

I have a migrations tool made by me for an internal project.
I couldn't find anything at the time and I made my own.
It uses the Command pattern (took the idea from the Rails migrations)
and plain MySql queries with a parser made with Antlr ... I know it is
not portable but this may be changed.

MySql is used because that's all I use and because I was thinking of
cool features like parsing the queries and creating visual diffs
between two migrations ... that's for when I'll have enough time.

Is there such a tool for Django?
If there aren't any maybe I could package it and release it as open
source ... otherwise it would be nice to work with a polished project
(mine is just a quick hack with some potential).

There are quite a few that take different approaches. Your best bet
may be to use the search feature with the keywords 'schema migration'
within the group.
