How to create database migrations

このドキュメントでは、遭遇する可能性のあるいくつかのシナリオに対する、データベースのマイグレーションの構成方法と書き方について説明します。マイグレーションに関する入門的な資料を探しているなら、トピック別ガイド を読んでください。

データのマイグレーションと複数のデータベース

When using multiple databases, you may need to figure out whether or not to run a migration against a particular database. For example, you may want to only run a migration on a particular database.

In order to do that you can check the database connection's alias inside a RunPython operation by looking at the schema_editor.connection.alias attribute:

from django.db import migrations

def forwards(apps, schema_editor):
    if schema_editor.connection.alias != 'default':
        return
    # Your migration code goes here

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
        # Dependencies to other migrations
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.RunPython(forwards),
    ]

You can also provide hints that will be passed to the allow_migrate() method of database routers as **hints:

myapp/dbrouters.py
class MyRouter:

    def allow_migrate(self, db, app_label, model_name=None, **hints):
        if 'target_db' in hints:
            return db == hints['target_db']
        return True

Then, to leverage this in your migrations, do the following:

from django.db import migrations

def forwards(apps, schema_editor):
    # Your migration code goes here
    ...

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
        # Dependencies to other migrations
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.RunPython(forwards, hints={'target_db': 'default'}),
    ]

If your RunPython or RunSQL operation only affects one model, it's good practice to pass model_name as a hint to make it as transparent as possible to the router. This is especially important for reusable and third-party apps.

Migrations that add unique fields

Applying a "plain" migration that adds a unique non-nullable field to a table with existing rows will raise an error because the value used to populate existing rows is generated only once, thus breaking the unique constraint.

Therefore, the following steps should be taken. In this example, we'll add a non-nullable UUIDField with a default value. Modify the respective field according to your needs.

  • Add the field on your model with default=uuid.uuid4 and unique=True arguments (choose an appropriate default for the type of the field you're adding).

  • Run the makemigrations command. This should generate a migration with an AddField operation.

  • Generate two empty migration files for the same app by running makemigrations myapp --empty twice. We've renamed the migration files to give them meaningful names in the examples below.

  • Copy the AddField operation from the auto-generated migration (the first of the three new files) to the last migration, change AddField to AlterField, and add imports of uuid and models. For example:

    0006_remove_uuid_null.py
    # Generated by Django A.B on YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
    from django.db import migrations, models
    import uuid
    
    class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    
        dependencies = [
            ('myapp', '0005_populate_uuid_values'),
        ]
    
        operations = [
            migrations.AlterField(
                model_name='mymodel',
                name='uuid',
                field=models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, unique=True),
            ),
        ]
    
  • 最初の移行ファイルを編集します。 生成された移行クラスは次のようになります:

    0004_add_uuid_field.py
    class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    
        dependencies = [
            ('myapp', '0003_auto_20150129_1705'),
        ]
    
        operations = [
            migrations.AddField(
                model_name='mymodel',
                name='uuid',
                field=models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, unique=True),
            ),
        ]
    

    Change unique=True to null=True -- this will create the intermediary null field and defer creating the unique constraint until we've populated unique values on all the rows.

  • In the first empty migration file, add a RunPython or RunSQL operation to generate a unique value (UUID in the example) for each existing row. Also add an import of uuid. For example:

    0005_populate_uuid_values.py
    # Generated by Django A.B on YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
    from django.db import migrations
    import uuid
    
    def gen_uuid(apps, schema_editor):
        MyModel = apps.get_model('myapp', 'MyModel')
        for row in MyModel.objects.all():
            row.uuid = uuid.uuid4()
            row.save(update_fields=['uuid'])
    
    class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    
        dependencies = [
            ('myapp', '0004_add_uuid_field'),
        ]
    
        operations = [
            # omit reverse_code=... if you don't want the migration to be reversible.
            migrations.RunPython(gen_uuid, reverse_code=migrations.RunPython.noop),
        ]
    
  • Now you can apply the migrations as usual with the migrate command.

    Note there is a race condition if you allow objects to be created while this migration is running. Objects created after the AddField and before RunPython will have their original uuid’s overwritten.

非アトミックのマイグレーション

On databases that support DDL transactions (SQLite and PostgreSQL), migrations will run inside a transaction by default. For use cases such as performing data migrations on large tables, you may want to prevent a migration from running in a transaction by setting the atomic attribute to False:

from django.db import migrations

class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    atomic = False

Within such a migration, all operations are run without a transaction. It's possible to execute parts of the migration inside a transaction using atomic() or by passing atomic=True to RunPython.

以下は、小さなバッチで大きなテーブルを更新する非原子データ移行の例です:

import uuid

from django.db import migrations, transaction

def gen_uuid(apps, schema_editor):
    MyModel = apps.get_model('myapp', 'MyModel')
    while MyModel.objects.filter(uuid__isnull=True).exists():
        with transaction.atomic():
            for row in MyModel.objects.filter(uuid__isnull=True)[:1000]:
                row.uuid = uuid.uuid4()
                row.save()

class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    atomic = False

    operations = [
        migrations.RunPython(gen_uuid),
    ]

The atomic attribute doesn't have an effect on databases that don't support DDL transactions (e.g. MySQL, Oracle). (MySQL's atomic DDL statement support refers to individual statements rather than multiple statements wrapped in a transaction that can be rolled back.)

マイグレーションの順序をコントロールする

Djangoは各移行のファイル名ではなく、Migration クラスの2つのプロパティ、dependenciesrun_before を使用してグラフを作成することで、移行を適用する順序を決定します。

makemigrations コマンドを使用した場合、自動作成された移行では作成プロセスの一部としてこれが定義されているため、おそらく dependencies が動作しているのを既に見ているでしょう。

dependencies プロパティは次のように宣言されます:

from django.db import migrations

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
        ('myapp', '0123_the_previous_migration'),
    ]

Usually this will be enough, but from time to time you may need to ensure that your migration runs before other migrations. This is useful, for example, to make third-party apps' migrations run after your AUTH_USER_MODEL replacement.

これを達成するために、あなたの Migration クラスの run_before 属性に依存する必要があるすべてのマイグレーションを配置します:

class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    ...

    run_before = [
        ('third_party_app', '0001_do_awesome'),
    ]

Prefer using dependencies over run_before when possible. You should only use run_before if it is undesirable or impractical to specify dependencies in the migration which you want to run after the one you are writing.

サードパーティのアプリ間でデータをマイグレーションする

データの移行を使用して、あるサードパーティアプリケーションから別のアプリケーションにデータを移動できます。

If you plan to remove the old app later, you'll need to set the dependencies property based on whether or not the old app is installed. Otherwise, you'll have missing dependencies once you uninstall the old app. Similarly, you'll need to catch LookupError in the apps.get_model() call that retrieves models from the old app. This approach allows you to deploy your project anywhere without first installing and then uninstalling the old app.

簡単な移行例を見てみましょう:

myapp/migrations/0124_move_old_app_to_new_app.py
from django.apps import apps as global_apps
from django.db import migrations

def forwards(apps, schema_editor):
    try:
        OldModel = apps.get_model('old_app', 'OldModel')
    except LookupError:
        # The old app isn't installed.
        return

    NewModel = apps.get_model('new_app', 'NewModel')
    NewModel.objects.bulk_create(
        NewModel(new_attribute=old_object.old_attribute)
        for old_object in OldModel.objects.all()
    )

class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    operations = [
        migrations.RunPython(forwards, migrations.RunPython.noop),
    ]
    dependencies = [
        ('myapp', '0123_the_previous_migration'),
        ('new_app', '0001_initial'),
    ]

    if global_apps.is_installed('old_app'):
        dependencies.append(('old_app', '0001_initial'))

また、移行が適用されていない場合に何をしたいかを検討します。(上記の例のように)何もしないか、新しいアプリケーションからデータの一部またはすべてを削除することができます。 それに応じて RunPython 操作の2番目の引数を調整します。

Changing a ManyToManyField to use a through model

If you change a ManyToManyField to use a through model, the default migration will delete the existing table and create a new one, losing the existing relations. To avoid this, you can use SeparateDatabaseAndState to rename the existing table to the new table name while telling the migration autodetector that the new model has been created. You can check the existing table name through sqlmigrate or dbshell. You can check the new table name with the through model's _meta.db_table property. Your new through model should use the same names for the ForeignKeys as Django did. Also if it needs any extra fields, they should be added in operations after SeparateDatabaseAndState.

For example, if we had a Book model with a ManyToManyField linking to Author, we could add a through model AuthorBook with a new field is_primary, like so:

from django.db import migrations, models
import django.db.models.deletion


class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    dependencies = [
        ('core', '0001_initial'),
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.SeparateDatabaseAndState(
            database_operations=[
                # Old table name from checking with sqlmigrate, new table
                # name from AuthorBook._meta.db_table.
                migrations.RunSQL(
                    sql='ALTER TABLE core_book_authors RENAME TO core_authorbook',
                    reverse_sql='ALTER TABLE core_authorbook RENAME TO core_book_authors',
                ),
            ],
            state_operations=[
                migrations.CreateModel(
                    name='AuthorBook',
                    fields=[
                        (
                            'id',
                            models.AutoField(
                                auto_created=True,
                                primary_key=True,
                                serialize=False,
                                verbose_name='ID',
                            ),
                        ),
                        (
                            'author',
                            models.ForeignKey(
                                on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.DO_NOTHING,
                                to='core.Author',
                            ),
                        ),
                        (
                            'book',
                            models.ForeignKey(
                                on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.DO_NOTHING,
                                to='core.Book',
                            ),
                        ),
                    ],
                ),
                migrations.AlterField(
                    model_name='book',
                    name='authors',
                    field=models.ManyToManyField(
                        to='core.Author',
                        through='core.AuthorBook',
                    ),
                ),
            ],
        ),
        migrations.AddField(
            model_name='authorbook',
            name='is_primary',
            field=models.BooleanField(default=False),
        ),
    ]

未管理状態のモデルを管理状態に変更する

If you want to change an unmanaged model (managed=False) to managed, you must remove managed=False and generate a migration before making other schema-related changes to the model, since schema changes that appear in the migration that contains the operation to change Meta.managed may not be applied.
