[Q] Did the database change between version 0.9.6 and 1.2.0?

[itinneed2022]

I'm trying to migrate an older database and its tables to a 1.2.0 setup. Reading through the documentation (1.1.10 and back) is taking awhile. So its probably quicker to ask: Is it possible to migrate an older setup's database to the newest version?

[deniszh]

Should be possible. Just apply migrations, see https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/1_1_1.html#upgrading

@deniszh How would that work with a mysql database? Running the migrations with:
PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/webapp django-admin.py migrate
--noinput --settings=graphite.settings --fake-initial

Threw an error:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1050, "Table 'dashboard_dashboard' already exists")

[deniszh]

MySQL should be the same. --fake-initial should fix issue with existing tables, so, not sure why that's happening :(

@deniszh well it hasn't seemed to stop the graphite app from working so I guess I'll see what happens.
