<h1>Database schema migrations<a class="headerlink" href="#database-schema-migrations" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Importing <a class="reference internal" href="api.html#module-migrate.changeset" title="migrate.changeset: Database changeset management"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">migrate.changeset</span></tt></a> adds some new methods to existing SQLAlchemy
objects, as well as creating functions of its own. Most operations can be done
either by a method or a function. Methods match SQLAlchemy&#8217;s existing API and
are more intuitive when the object is available; functions allow one to make
changes when only the name of an object is available (for example, adding a
column to a table in the database without having to load that table into
Python).</p>
<p>Changeset operations can be used independently of SQLAlchemy Migrate&#8217;s

<p>SQLAlchemy supports creating or dropping constraints at the same time a table
is created or dropped. SQLAlchemy Migrate adds support for creating and
dropping <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">PrimaryKeyConstraint</span></tt>,
<tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ForeignKeyConstraint</span></tt>,
<tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">CheckConstraint</span></tt> and
<tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">UniqueConstraint</span></tt> constraints independently using
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ALTER</span> <span class="pre">TABLE</span></tt> statements.</p>
<p>The following rundowns are true for all constraints classes:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first">Make sure you import the relevant constraint class from <a class="reference internal" href="index.html#module-migrate" title="migrate"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">migrate</span></tt></a> and
not from <tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">sqlalchemy</span></tt>, for example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">migrate.changeset.constraint</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">ForeignKeyConstraint</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The classes in that module have the extra

<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">SQLAlchemy Migrate will try to guess the name of the constraints for
databases, but if it&#8217;s something other than the default, you&#8217;ll need to
give its name. Best practice is to always name your constraints. Note that
Oracle requires that you state the name of the constraint to be created or
dropped.</p>
