I normally don’t do short posts with just a link, but this warrants an exception: http://www.djangopro.com/2011/01/django-database-migration-tool-south-explained/

My name is Reinout van Rees and I work a lot with Python (programming language) and Django (website framework). I live in The Netherlands and I'm happily married to Annie van Rees-Kooiman.
