Tools for managing database schema changes and migrations.
Database migration tools are specialized libraries or frameworks designed to manage changes to a database's schema over time. As applications evolve, the underlying database structures - such as tables, columns, and indexes - often need to be modified, added, or removed. Manually applying these changes across different environments can be error-prone and cumbersome. Database migration tools automate this process, enabling developers to define changes in code or scripts that can be version-controlled along with the application's source code. In the context of Python, such tools are often integrated with popular frameworks and ORMs like Django, SQLAlchemy, and Flask.
