Generate Django database migrations for Sentry. Use when creating migrations, adding/removing columns or tables, adding indexes, or resolving migration conflicts.
Generate migrations automatically based on model changes:
sentry django makemigrations
For a specific app:
sentry django makemigrations <app_name>
Generate an empty migration (for data migrations or custom work):
sentry django makemigrations <app_name> --empty
__init__.pysentry django sqlmigrate <app_name> <migration_name> to verify the SQLdb_default=<value> instead of default=<value> for columns with defaultsnull=Truedb_default setFor large tables, set is_post_deployment = True on the migration as index creation may exceed the 5s timeout.
null=True) if not alreadyRemoveField with SafeRemoveField(..., deletion_action=DeletionAction.MOVE_TO_PENDING)SafeRemoveField(..., deletion_action=DeletionAction.DELETE)DeleteModel with SafeDeleteModel(..., deletion_action=DeletionAction.MOVE_TO_PENDING)SafeDeleteModel(..., deletion_action=DeletionAction.DELETE)Don't rename in Postgres. Use db_column or Meta.db_table to keep the old name.
If migrations_lockfile.txt conflicts:
bin/update-migration <migration_name>
This renames your migration, updates dependencies, and fixes the lockfile.
