Well, FWIW here is my #introduction to add to the hordes of refugees from the birdsite. I'm an old #welsh European #migrant living in the heart of Europe after fleeing Brexit. My day job is in IT, mostly #databases, now moving into #bigdata and #cloudtechnology. More of a lurker than a tweeter in the Bad Place, so probably won't say much here either. Finding the #fediverse interesting, however, so many thanks to all the fine folk who created and maintain this more civilised online space!
databases
I used to use database migration tools that pretty much locked you into their toolings.
I find it's nice for once not having to rely on any of it.
golang-migrate/migrate is great for that.
Just create SQL files for both up and down, and you can have the script migrate up, or you can just manually run the SQL file yourself.
Quick reminder that I've decided to retire from being a Django Fellow at the end of March 2024 and (excitingly) I'm open to new positions from April, 1st. After years of building Django itself 🛠, I'm now looking forward to building things in Python/Django again 📥 Contact me if you need a #Python / #Django veteran experienced in various #databases, and an #opensource enthusiast 🤝 #opentowork
Sounds like @jerod has no qualms with connecting to a remote database while doing local web development.
