Hi Mike,

Thanks for the swift reply.  In fact I run

alembic revision --autogenerate -m 'some message'

followed by

alembic upgrade head

and I don't add anything to the auto-generated scripts inside
alembic/versions/.  The goal is to keep this whole process as automated
as possible.

Unfortunately, Alembic does not support that use case. It is dangerous to not manually verify that the scripts are correct, because they very often will not be. You may have noticed that the included templates themselves also encourage the user to "please adjust!". This is documented here: http://alembic.zzzcomputing.com/en/latest/autogenerate.html#what-does-autogenerate-detect-and-what-does-it-not-detect

For your view, since SQLAlchemy does not have a first class view object, neither does Alembic. The recipe you've built for CreateView / DropView is great, and if you want to take that all the way through Alembic you'd have to add more extensions per the docs at http://alembic.zzzcomputing.com/en/latest/api/autogenerate.html#autogenerating-custom-operation-directives .


Easier to implement control and documentation that way.

once you get a migration script that works correctly, you commit it to version control, and it's there. I don't see how whether autogeneration did the file 100% or only 85% affects that goal.



 Is that a possibility?

    when you say "upgrading" to you mean "alembic upgrade" ?  what are you
    putting in your alembic migration scripts?
