There's nothing built into Django that does this. There are, however, at least three external projects that offer this kind of thing: http://code.google.com/p/django-evolution/ http://code.google.com/p/dmigrations/ http://south.aeracode.org/wiki You might want to check them out. Also if you search the list for terms like 'schema evolution' or 'schema migration' you may find useful past discussions on this topic.
