I have a website with a number of smaller internal apps. I want to break some of them out into reusable apps and I'm starting with a simple one. It has a single model and a single initial migration representing it. Very simple, no foreign keys etc.
I did this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/8408131 and, as part of that, updated django_migrations table to change old app label to new app label. I did all these steps in a single RunSQL data migration in my core app which is listed first in my APPS settings list: operations = [ migrations.RunSQL( [("UPDATE django_content_type SET app_label=%s WHERE app_label=%s", [NEW_APP, OLD_APP])], [("UPDATE django_content_type SET app_label=%s WHERE app_label=%s", [OLD_APP, NEW_APP])], ), migrations.RunSQL( "ALTER TABLE " + OLD_APP + "_contact RENAME TO " + NEW_APP + "_contact", "ALTER TABLE " + NEW_APP + "_contact RENAME TO " + OLD_APP + "_contact" ), migrations.RunSQL( [("UPDATE django_migrations SET app=%s WHERE app=%s", [NEW_APP, OLD_APP])], [("UPDATE django_migrations SET app=%s WHERE app=%s", [OLD_APP, NEW_APP])], ) ] The console output seems to suggest the core migration is indeed running before the <new app label> migration tries. Even though the django_migrations table seems to be updating the app_label properly (step 3) the 0001_initial migration in the newly renamed app still tries to run. It fails since it's just a create and the table it wants to create already exists since the earlier table rename (step 2) made it so. I guess my general question is on the isolation level of the RunSQL migrations. Should I expect the migration for <new app> to see it doesn't need to run because django_migrations was updated one step earlier which should now say <new app label> has already run 0001_initial?
