=============================
Database migration operations
=============================
All of these :doc:`operations </ref/migration-operations>` are available from
the ``django.contrib.postgres.operations`` module.
.. _create-postgresql-extensions:
Creating extension using migrations
===================================
You can create a PostgreSQL extension in your database using a migration file.
This example creates an hstore extension, but the same principles apply for
other extensions.
Set up the hstore extension in PostgreSQL before the first ``CreateModel``
or ``AddField`` operation that involves
:class:`~django.contrib.postgres.fields.HStoreField` by adding a migration with
the :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.operations.HStoreExtension` operation.
For example::
from django.contrib.postgres.operations import HStoreExtension
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
...
operations = [
HStoreExtension(),
...
]
Creating the extension requires a database user with superuser privileges.
If the Django database user doesn't have superuser privileges, you'll have
to create the extension outside of Django migrations with a user that has
the appropriate privileges. In that case, connect to your Django database and
run the query ``CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS hstore;``.
.. currentmodule:: django.contrib.postgres.operations
``CreateExtension``
===================
.. class:: CreateExtension(name)
An ``Operation`` subclass which installs PostgreSQL extensions.
.. attribute:: name
This is a required argument. The name of the extension to be installed.
``BtreeGinExtension``
=====================
.. class:: BtreeGinExtension()
Install the ``btree_gin`` extension.
``BtreeGistExtension``
======================
.. class:: BtreeGistExtension()
Install the ``btree_gist`` extension.
``CITextExtension``
===================
.. class:: CITextExtension()
Installs the ``citext`` extension.
``CryptoExtension``
===================
.. class:: CryptoExtension()
Installs the ``pgcrypto`` extension.
``HStoreExtension``
===================
.. class:: HStoreExtension()
Installs the ``hstore`` extension and also sets up the connection to
interpret hstore data for possible use in subsequent migrations.
``TrigramExtension``
====================
.. class:: TrigramExtension()
Installs the ``pg_trgm`` extension.
``UnaccentExtension``
=====================
.. class:: UnaccentExtension()
Installs the ``unaccent`` extension.
Index concurrent operations
===========================
.. versionadded:: 3.0
PostgreSQL supports the ``CONCURRENTLY`` option to ``CREATE INDEX`` and
``DROP INDEX`` statements to add and remove indexes without locking out writes.
This option is useful for adding or removing an index in a live production
database.
.. class:: AddIndexConcurrently(model_name, index)
Like :class:`~django.db.migrations.operations.AddIndex`, but creates an
index with the ``CONCURRENTLY`` option. This has a few caveats to be aware
of when using this option, see `the PostgreSQL documentation of building
indexes concurrently <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/
sql-createindex.html#SQL-CREATEINDEX-CONCURRENTLY>`_.
.. class:: RemoveIndexConcurrently(model_name, name)
Like :class:`~django.db.migrations.operations.RemoveIndex`, but removes the
index with the ``CONCURRENTLY`` option. This has a few caveats to be aware
of when using this option, see `the PostgreSQL documentation
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-dropindex.html>`_.
.. note::
The ``CONCURRENTLY`` option is not supported inside a transaction (see
:ref:`non-atomic migration <non-atomic-migrations>`).
