I'm just wondering how you could handle database changes. Let's say you have a existing working project and the client asks for some changes.
These changes force you to create an extra table and modify some tables (models). On the development server I could modify the changes to the database and the models files myself. But deploying these changes to the production server seems a bit harder to overcome without the fear of loosing your data. I don't think the newly created models and database tables would form a problem. Simply running ./manage.py syncdb would create the table(s) for us without any problems. But what about tables (models) that are modified ? How would you best handle such cases of deployment ?
