Database¶
Initialising¶
When creating a new database the migrate
command will need to be
called to initialise the schema and insert the initial data fixtures.
Usage¶
python manage.py migrate
Migrating¶
Some of the upgrades to MyTardis will require that the database schema
be upgraded to match the internal data model. The migrate
command
migrates data from old database schemas to the current one. It detects
which version of the database you are currently running and will
automatically migrate to the current version.
In certain cases it is also necessary to update the permissions table.
Usage¶
python manage.py migrate
If the model changes require it, run:
python manage.py update_permissions
creating superuser¶
After success of database initialization or migration, please use a
command line utility called createsuperuser
to create an
administrator account using the admin site which is hooked to the URL
/admin/.
Usage¶
python manage.py createsuperuser
Backup¶
Previous versions of MyTardis included a backupdb
management command
but it has been removed in 4.0. Please use the recommended backup tool
for your database engine, e.g. pg_dump
or mysqldump
.
