Models Database Migration - SethuGopalan/ebdjangoVR GitHub Wiki

created our Tech_Project class, now need Django to create the database. By default, the Django ORM creates databases in SQLite, but you can use other databases that use the SQL language, such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, with the Django ORM.

To start the process of creating database, need to create a migration. A migration is a file containing a Migration class with rules that tell Django what changes need to be made to the database. To create the migration, type the following command in the console, making sure you’re in the EBDDJANGOVR directory:

$ python manage.py makemigrations Tech_projects

Migrations for 'Tech_projects':

Tecg_projects/migrations/0001_initial.py

- Create model Tech_Project

Tech_projects/migrations/0001_initial.py has been created in the Tech_projects app

need to apply the migrations set out in the migrations file and create the database using the migrate command:

$ python manage.py migrate projects

Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: Tech_projects Running migrations: Applying Tech_projects.0001_initial... OK
