Adding new field in Django model
If you don't change Django version, adding new fields on models will not create any problem, even after many years. But, there are some situations this might create problems. For example, if Django is updated and you have installed the latest version.
I am currently working on a Django project with around 30 models and there are lots of relations(For example, foreign key relations) between the models.
My doubt is "After 6 months, let's say I want to add a new field(s) in one of the model/table(s) in models.py, and make migrations, the new migration files will get created without affecting the initial migration files which were created 6 months ago."
Will the relations be maintained after adding new columns in different tables? (or) do I have to go to pgadmin console and tweak them accordingly?
One way is to erase all the migrations and start fresh, but this is not recommended often especially if there is production data (or) there are frequent changes in the database schema.
