DB migration:

Alembic is used for database migrations.

To change any database model, follow these steps.

• Make sure that you have an up-to-date squeaknode with a sqlite database.
• Make a note of the path to the ".db" sqlite database file. (Usually ~/.sqk/data/testnet/data.db by default)
• Make the changes to database models in squeaknode/db/models.py
• Update the alembic.ini file to point to the sqlite file from before:

  sqlalchemy.url = sqlite://///home/<USER>/.sqk/data/testnet/data.db
  

• Run the command to generate a new alembic migration:

  $ virtuelenv venv
  $ pip install -r requirements.txt
  $ pip install -e .
  $ alembic -c squeaknode/db/alembic.ini revision --autogenerate -m "<YOUR_MESSAGE>"
  

• To generate a new initial version revision, follow the same steps as above, but the /home/<USER>/.sqk/data/testnet/data.db file should be an empty file.
