<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">this section discusses the <strong>internal API of Alembic</strong>
as regards the autogeneration feature of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">alembic</span> <span class="pre">revision</span></code>
command.
This section is only useful for developers who wish to extend the
capabilities of Alembic.  For general documentation on the autogenerate
feature, please see <a class="reference internal" href="../autogenerate.html"><em>Auto Generating Migrations</em></a>.</p>
</div>
<p>The autogeneration system has a wide degree of public API, including
the following areas:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>The ability to do a &#8220;diff&#8221; of a <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/metadata.html#sqlalchemy.schema.MetaData" title="(in SQLAlchemy v1.0)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MetaData</span></code></a> object against
a database, and receive a data structure back.  This structure
is available either as a rudimentary list of changes, or as
a <a class="reference internal" href="../ops.html#alembic.operations.MigrateOperation" title="alembic.operations.MigrateOperation"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MigrateOperation</span></code></a> structure.</li>
<li>The ability to alter how the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">alembic</span> <span class="pre">revision</span></code> command generates
revision scripts, including support for multiple revision scripts
generated in one pass.</li>
<li>The ability to add new operation directives to autogeneration, including
custom schema/model comparison functions and revision script rendering.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Getting Diffs<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-diffs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The simplest API autogenerate provides is the &#8220;schema comparison&#8221; API;
these are simple functions that will run all registered &#8220;comparison&#8221; functions
between a <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/metadata.html#sqlalchemy.schema.MetaData" title="(in SQLAlchemy v1.0)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MetaData</span></code></a> object and a database
backend to produce a structure showing how they differ.   The two
functions provided are <a class="reference internal" href="#alembic.autogenerate.compare_metadata" title="alembic.autogenerate.compare_metadata"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">compare_metadata()</span></code></a>, which is more of the
&#8220;legacy&#8221; function that produces diff tuples, and <a class="reference internal" href="#alembic.autogenerate.produce_migrations" title="alembic.autogenerate.produce_migrations"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">produce_migrations()</span></code></a>,
which produces a structure consisting of operation directives detailed in

<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">alembic</span> <span class="pre">revision</span></code> command, also available programmatically
via <a class="reference internal" href="commands.html#alembic.command.revision" title="alembic.command.revision"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">command.revision()</span></code></a>, essentially produces a single migration
script after being run.  Whether or not the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--autogenerate</span></code> option
was specified basically determines if this script is a blank revision
script with empty <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">upgrade()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">downgrade()</span></code> functions, or was
produced with alembic operation directives as the result of autogenerate.</p>

<p>Given that structures like the above are used to generate new revision
files, and that we&#8217;d like to be able to alter these as they are created,
we then need a system to access this structure when the
<a class="reference internal" href="commands.html#alembic.command.revision" title="alembic.command.revision"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">command.revision()</span></code></a> command is used.  The

parameter gives us a way to alter this.   This is a function that
is passed the above structure as generated by Alembic, giving us a chance
to alter it.
For example, if we wanted to put all the &#8220;upgrade&#8221; operations into
a certain branch, and we wanted our script to not have any &#8220;downgrade&#8221;

<p>The preceding example illustrated how we can make a simple change to the
structure of the operation directives to produce new autogenerate output.
For the case where we want to affect very specific parts of the autogenerate
stream, we can make a function for
<a class="reference internal" href="runtime.html#alembic.runtime.environment.EnvironmentContext.configure.params.process_revision_directives" title="alembic.runtime.environment.EnvironmentContext.configure"><code class="xref py py-paramref docutils literal"><span class="pre">EnvironmentContext.configure.process_revision_directives</span></code></a>
which traverses through the whole <a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#alembic.operations.ops.MigrationScript" title="alembic.operations.ops.MigrationScript"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MigrationScript</span></code></a> structure, locates
the elements we care about and modifies them in-place as needed.  However,
to reduce the boilerplate associated with this task, we can use the
<a class="reference internal" href="#alembic.autogenerate.rewriter.Rewriter" title="alembic.autogenerate.rewriter.Rewriter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Rewriter</span></code></a> object to make this easier.  <a class="reference internal" href="#alembic.autogenerate.rewriter.Rewriter" title="alembic.autogenerate.rewriter.Rewriter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Rewriter</span></code></a> gives
us an object that we can pass directly to
<a class="reference internal" href="runtime.html#alembic.runtime.environment.EnvironmentContext.configure.params.process_revision_directives" title="alembic.runtime.environment.EnvironmentContext.configure"><code class="xref py py-paramref docutils literal"><span class="pre">EnvironmentContext.configure.process_revision_directives</span></code></a> which
we can also attach handler functions onto, keyed to specific types of
constructs.</p>
<p>Below is an example where we rewrite <a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#alembic.operations.ops.AddColumnOp" title="alembic.operations.ops.AddColumnOp"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ops.AddColumnOp</span></code></a> directives;
based on whether or not the new column is &#8220;nullable&#8221;, we either return
the existing directive, or we return the existing directive with
the nullable flag changed, inside of a list with a second directive
to alter the nullable flag in a second step:</p>

<p>Above, <a class="reference internal" href="runtime.html#alembic.runtime.migration.MigrationContext.run_migrations" title="alembic.runtime.migration.MigrationContext.run_migrations"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">MigrationContext.run_migrations()</span></code></a> is run multiple times,
once for each engine.  Within the context of autogeneration, each time
the method is called the <a class="reference internal" href="runtime.html#alembic.runtime.environment.EnvironmentContext.configure.params.upgrade_token" title="alembic.runtime.environment.EnvironmentContext.configure"><code class="xref py py-paramref docutils literal"><span class="pre">upgrade_token</span></code></a>

are changed, so that the collection of template variables gains distinct
entries for each engine, which are then referred to explicitly
within <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">script.py.mako</span></code>.</p>
<p>In terms of the
<a class="reference internal" href="runtime.html#alembic.runtime.environment.EnvironmentContext.configure.params.process_revision_directives" title="alembic.runtime.environment.EnvironmentContext.configure"><code class="xref py py-paramref docutils literal"><span class="pre">EnvironmentContext.configure.process_revision_directives</span></code></a> hook,
the behavior here is that the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">process_revision_directives</span></code> hook
is invoked <strong>multiple times, once for each call to
context.run_migrations()</strong>.  This means that if
a multi-<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">run_migrations()</span></code> approach is to be combined with the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">process_revision_directives</span></code> hook, care must be taken to use the
hook appropriately.</p>
<p>The first point to note is that when a <strong>second</strong> call to
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">run_migrations()</span></code> occurs, the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.upgrade_ops</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.downgrade_ops</span></code>
attributes are <strong>converted into Python lists</strong>, and new
<a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#alembic.operations.ops.UpgradeOps" title="alembic.operations.ops.UpgradeOps"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">UpgradeOps</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#alembic.operations.ops.DowngradeOps" title="alembic.operations.ops.DowngradeOps"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">DowngradeOps</span></code></a> objects are appended
to these lists.   Each <a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#alembic.operations.ops.UpgradeOps" title="alembic.operations.ops.UpgradeOps"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">UpgradeOps</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#alembic.operations.ops.DowngradeOps" title="alembic.operations.ops.DowngradeOps"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">DowngradeOps</span></code></a>
object maintains an <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.upgrade_token</span></code> and a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.downgrade_token</span></code> attribute
respectively, which serves to render their contents into the appropriate
template token.</p>
<p>For example, a multi-engine run that has the engine names <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">engine1</span></code>
and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">engine2</span></code> will generate tokens of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">engine1_upgrades</span></code>,

<ul class="simple">
<li>If the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">process_revision_directives</span></code> hook aims to <strong>add elements

so that each time the hook runs, the database is available.</li>
<li>Alternatively, if the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">process_revision_directives</span></code> hook aims to
<strong>modify the list of migration directives in place</strong>, this should
be called <strong>only on the last iteration</strong>.  This is so that the hook

<p>In the section <a class="reference internal" href="operations.html#operation-plugins"><span>Operation Plugins</span></a>, we talked about adding new

also learned that these same <a class="reference internal" href="../ops.html#alembic.operations.MigrateOperation" title="alembic.operations.MigrateOperation"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MigrateOperation</span></code></a> structures are at
the base of how the autogenerate system knows what Python code to render.
Using this knowledge, we can create additional functions that plug into
the autogenerate system so that our new operations can be generated
into migration scripts when <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">alembic</span> <span class="pre">revision</span> <span class="pre">--autogenerate</span></code> is run.</p>

<h3>Tracking our Object with the Model<a class="headerlink" href="#tracking-our-object-with-the-model" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The basic job of an autogenerate comparison function is to inspect
a series of objects in the database and compare them against a series
of objects defined in our model.  By &#8220;in our model&#8221;, we mean anything
defined in Python code that we want to track, however most commonly
we&#8217;re talking about a series of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/metadata.html#sqlalchemy.schema.Table" title="(in SQLAlchemy v1.0)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Table</span></code></a>

<p>Let&#8217;s propose a simple way of seeing what <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/defaults.html#sqlalchemy.schema.Sequence" title="(in SQLAlchemy v1.0)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Sequence</span></code></a>

already, let&#8217;s assume they don&#8217;t, as the example here intends to illustrate
how we would do this for most any kind of custom construct.   We
associate the object with the <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">info</span></code>
collection of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/metadata.html#sqlalchemy.schema.MetaData" title="(in SQLAlchemy v1.0)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MetaData</span></code></a>, which is a dictionary

<p>Above, we&#8217;ve built a new function <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">compare_sequences()</span></code> and registered
it as a &#8220;schema&#8221; level comparison function with autogenerate.   The
job that it performs is that it compares the list of sequence names
present in each database schema with that of a list of sequence names
that we are maintaining in our <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/metadata.html#sqlalchemy.schema.MetaData" title="(in SQLAlchemy v1.0)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MetaData</span></code></a> object.</p>
<p>When autogenerate completes, it will have a series of
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CreateSequenceOp</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DropSequenceOp</span></code> directives in the list of
&#8220;upgrade&#8221; operations;  the list of &#8220;downgrade&#8221; operations is generated
directly from these using the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CreateSequenceOp.reverse()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DropSequenceOp.reverse()</span></code> methods
that we&#8217;ve implemented on these objects.</p>
<p>The registration of our function at the scope of &#8220;schema&#8221; means our
autogenerate comparison function is called outside of the context
of any specific table or column.  The three available scopes
are &#8220;schema&#8221;, &#8220;table&#8221;, and &#8220;column&#8221;, summarized as follows:</p>

<p>The second autogenerate integration hook is to provide a &#8220;render&#8221; function;
since the autogenerate

<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">alembic.autogenerate</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">renderers</span>

<p>All the above code can be organized however the developer sees fit;

which contain all the above routines, or they are locally present,
or some combination thereof.</p>
<p>If we then have code in our model (which of course also needs to be invoked
