Rename django app

Applications in a project were named not according to convention with Capitalization in Application names which has caused a lot of problems during data migration and migration from Sqlite to Postgres. I would like to rename it all but looks complicated task. So I will create a small TestApp with the same problem and practice on it so we can how does it work and do I have to change it or can it stay that way because it is too complicated.

cp small app and change its name..

Ok, it works fine.

I will try to change its name now.

mv TestApp/ testapps

vim testapps/apps.py

vim testapps/admin.py

vim quickbook/settings.py

grep -r "TestApp" .

vim testapps/migrations/0001_initial.py

python3 manage.py dbshell

UPDATE django_content_type SET app_label='testapps' WHERE app_label= 'TestApp';

UPDATE 1

quickbook=>\d

public | TestApp_testapp | table | quickbook

public | TestApp_testapp_id_seq | sequence | quickbook

ALTER TABLE "TestApp_testapp" RENAME TO testapps_testapp;

So, here is very important to use “” for name in uppercase.

ALTER SEQUENCE "TestApp_testapp_id_seq" RENAME TO testapps_testapp_id_seq;

Check it again!

Is it working?

quickbook=> \q

service apache2 reload

Yes, no problem it working like i expected it..

Yupi, Lets rename all other apps.

Not as difficult as it first seemed but we'll see how it works in practice.

Took about 30 minutes to figure everything out.
