DMIGRATIONS_DIR

The directory in which your migration script files will live (and be created by dmigration).

DMIGRATIONS_MYSQL_ENGINE

By default, dmigrations creates MySQL tables using the InnoDB engine. If you want to use something else (like MyISAM for example), use this setting to specify your preferred alternative.

DISABLE_SYNCDB

If you're working in a team environment and you're worried someone might be using syncdb instead of the dmigrations system, set this to True to hit them with an error message instead. Note that the Django default test suite needs to use syncdb to create the tables; a dmigrations-aware test runner is not yet publicly available.

For other database backends

dmigrations only supports MySQL at the moment. If you want to build backends for other databases, these settings are a good place to start - though these may well change as they are quite confusing.

DMIGRATIONS_DATABASE_BACKEND

When migrations are generated, this is used in the migrations import. Default is mysql.

DMIGRATION_GENERATOR

The module used to generate new migrations. You are very unlikely to need to change this. Defaults to dmigrations.???.generator, where ??? is settings.DATABASE_ENGINE.
