Walter -- Thanks for the encouragement!
Yes, I agree that a "real" migration screencast is in order. I think that at least one of the demonstrated migrations will take a table with data that isn't normalized and normalize it. That shows off some of the power of Migrate - because the upgrades are done in Python, we are free to write whatever code is needed to save that data while altering existing tables. I suppose a ready-to-run demo might be nice as well? Thanks again, Tim Walter Cruz wrote: > Hi Timothy > > I've seen the screencast.
