You probably mean attributes and not variables. Also, when using SQLAlchemy, you don't modify the database schema directly, but you change the Model and then generate a migration which would change database schema on next upgrade. > Here I am facing issues (most probably because I am a newbie in SQL > Alchemy).

After you have added a field, you can use Alembic to autogenerate migrations for your changes in database schema. See [2] on how to write alembic migration from scratch. You can (and should) just use alembic to autogenerate it using the command mentioned here[3].

"Admin" is used for operators of a project, this is not really something an admin would want to change. I have provided URLs to existing documentation about how to add a new database migration. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list -- mailman-developers@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-developers-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-developers.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: https://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: https://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
