django-data-migration

django-data-migration is a reusable Django app that migrates your legacy data into your new django app. The only thing you have to supply is an appropriate SQL query that transforms your data from the old schema into your model structure. Dependencies between these migrations will be resolved automatically. Give it a try!

This extension is tested automatically against:

• Django 1.5
• Django 1.6
• Django 1.7

on Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4.

Python 3.2 is not supported, due to a SyntaxError in the future library which is used to support both Python 2 and 3.

Installation

1. Install using pip:

   pip install django-data-migration
   

2. Add to INSTALLED_APPS:

   'data_migration',
   

3. Run ./manage.py migrate or ./manage.py syncdb to create the included models

Alternatively, you can add django-data-migration to your requirements.txt.
