Django migrations - is it possible to use the South in the middle of the project?

Question

I already started the project, and all models are synchronized and that’s it.

Answer 1

Yes. I think it's not too late. I moved south in the middle of the project and I am pleased with this choice. I think this is a great help for deployment.

Initialization of the southern application can be performed at any time.

Answer 2

It is even mentioned in the docs:

Answer 3

.

( syncdb ).

:

./manage.py convert_to_south myapp

Then you can make changes to your model and make schemes or even do datamigrations .
