Migrating your data

After you wrote all of your Migrations, you can put them in action by executing the migrate_legacy_data management command:

./manage.py migrate_legacy_data [--commit]

If you omit the --commit-flag, the data is not saved to the DB. This is useful when you develop your migrations and have some failing migrations, but the db is not cluttered with any incomplete data. When your migrations are succesful you can add --commit and your data is saved when no errors occur.

Note

In older versions of this library, the management command is called migrate_this_shit. This has been deprecated, but it is still there. migrate_legacy_data should be more appropriate.
