You can update the database schema, of course, but you should not need
an upgrade path that requires deleting existing data.

I do need some sort of mechanism for updating the schema. I have heard
that South is useful for this purpose. Can you investigate this?

For your immediate dev needs, you can do whatever you want with the
database, but at least take careful note of which schema changes you
make, because we'll have to do them on the live site.

Wendy, can you comment on South or any other method for schema updates?
