SQLAlchemy Migrate
==================

.. warning::

    sqlalchemy-migrate is no longer maintained and is not compatible with
    SQLAlchemy 2.x. `alembic`__ is a modern replacement that is developed and
    supported by the SQLAlchemy authors.

    .. __: https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/

Fork from http://code.google.com/p/sqlalchemy-migrate/ to get it working with
SQLAlchemy 0.8.

Inspired by Ruby on Rails' migrations, Migrate provides a way to deal with
database schema changes in `SQLAlchemy <http://sqlalchemy.org>`_ projects.

Migrate extends SQLAlchemy to have database changeset handling. It provides a
database change repository mechanism which can be used from the command line as
well as from inside python code.
