you CAN track the latest "CREATE" statement and deploy to a real system. Conceptually you only need to do a "diff" between your current "CREATE" and the on in the system where you are deploying. https://github.com/djrobstep/migra

You bring up an excellent point. I had forgotten about auto-migrators because they encourage not being as conscious about the impact of potentially major changes to data since reading a tool's output is less cognitively engaging compared to writing something that works.
