automatic migrations terrifies me. i use elixir/ecto. just write a migration!

besides, some times you might want more than one schema for a db table (e.g. one with minimal information, for menus, dropdowns etc, and one with full information for your full CRUD operations)

Django has the concept of "proxy models" where you can define a trimmed down model for the same database table.

what if two models access disjoint sets of fields (like a Data.Admin and Data.User)

Two proxy models that extend the same base model.
