RunPython migration on second database












2















Running a database migration with RunPython on a second database fails



python3 manage.py migrate --database=app


The problem is that the apps.get_model method takes the default database which has already the newest migrations.



Does not work:



def copy_cpr_cents_to_euros(apps, schema_editor):
User = apps.get_model('accounting', 'User')
User.objects.filter(...);


Works:



def copy_cpr_cents_to_euros(apps, schema_editor):
User = apps.get_model('accounting', 'User')
User.objects.using('app').filter(...);


Is there a way to use the given database in the migration, so in this case "app" without making expliclitly declaring it, since it should work for both databases?



So something like:



User.objects.using(database_name).filter(...)

          schema_editor.connection.alias


          contains the string of the current database with which the migration was started.



          So each RunPython-migration must use this alias to manually select the right db.



          Example:



          def copy_cpr_cents_to_euros(apps, schema_editor):
          User = apps.get_model('accounting', 'User')
          db = schema_editor.connection.alias
          User.objects.using('app').using(db).filter(...)
