.. admonition:: Migrating auto-created through tables
|
||||
|
||||
The value of ``DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD`` will be respected when creating new
|
||||
auto-created through tables for many-to-many relationships.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, the primary keys of existing auto-created through tables
|
||||
cannot currently be updated by the migrations framework.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that if you switch the value of ``DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD`` and then
|
||||
generate migrations, the primary keys of the related models will be
|
||||
updated, as will the foreign keys from the through table, but the primary
|
||||
key of the auto-created through table will not be migrated.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to address this, you should add a
|
||||
:class:`~django.db.migrations.operations.RunSQL` operation to your
|
||||
migrations to perform the required ``ALTER TABLE`` step. You can check the
|
||||
existing table name through ``sqlmigrate``, ``dbshell``, or with the
|
||||
field’s ``remote_field.through._meta.db_table`` property.
|
||||
|
||||
Explicitly defined through models are already handled by the migrations
|
||||
system.
|
||||
|
||||
Allowing automatic migrations for the primary key of existing auto-created
|
||||
through tables :ticket:`may be implemented at a later date <32674>`.

In anticipation of the changing default, a system check will provide a warning

When changing the value of :setting:`DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD`, migrations for the
