I'm replacing an old Django app with a new one and because both use UserManager(), which seems to clash if you have two apps doing that, I considered simply disabling the old app and adding the new. However, I have no idea how I would access the old data for a proper datamigration. I could use db.execute() to execute SQL, but I have no way of checking the results? I'd like to do things like 'if table x exists, get the data from there and create new objects as so for the new app'. Any hints?

  • Thanks, but that only works if you keep the old app activated as well. I need to deactivate it, otherwise I get clashes. – Tim Stoop May 27 '13 at 07:25
