Alembic beginner here. I'm having some issues with Alembic trying to delete my tables that are already created. I have no idea what is going on. Right now I have a database that looks like this: If I run alembic upgrade head, I get this as my result: INFO [alembic.runtime.migration] Context impl PostgresqlImpl. INFO [alembic.runtime.migration] Will assume transactional DDL. If I run alembic history, I get this result, which is correct: c2659db918a9 -> 765c30f7078c (head), creat table views c4a0cac54f89 -> c2659db918a9, Made last_update not null for all tables 19dd9f3d1d16 -> c4a0cac54f89, Added last_update field defaulted to now 77c03ebb393b -> 19dd9f3d1d16, Added indexes to each table 0737825277d8 -> 77c03ebb393b, Change foreign key columns to non-nullable 5eb3c5f7f599 -> 0737825277d8, Rename a column in daily_etf_underlying table 0da0b2a43172 -> 5eb3c5f7f599, Add extra_info column to daily_etf_underlying c181fe8bcfa9 -> 0da0b2a43172, Make daily_etf id columns nullable 8fba2675104b -> c181fe8bcfa9, added fixing table 074563d69c3b -> 8fba2675104b, Modify daily_etf tables 2c9de57e43f0 -> 074563d69c3b, Add fund_family columns 80de6fb0a104 -> 2c9de57e43f0, Modify daily_etf table a970af9bb117 -> 80de6fb0a104, Add daily_etf_basket, daily_etf_fx_forward tables <base> -> a970af9bb117, Add daily_etf table But if I run alembic revision --autogenerate -m "<>", I get this! alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Raw fidessa client trade table" INFO [alembic.runtime.migration] Context impl PostgresqlImpl.

Why is alembic trying to delete everything? Thanks for your help.
