South[1] handles database migrations. both schema and data. It can be a
little tricky when first starting to use it but it is a powerful system.

Otherwise you could alter the table yourself and copy the data using SQL or
the django-admin shell.

> Hi,

>
> Table before change:

> text = thisisavalidslug(char field)
>
> Table after change:
>
> text=thisisavalidslug(char field)
> slug=thisisavalidslug(slug field)
>
> Then later, I will change all char field manually to be more human readable
> with non-ascii letters and spaces. I just have like 10 items.
