Re: Adding fields in model, migrating a sqlite.db in production...good idea?

Make a copy of your sqlite file and try makemigration on your copy.
Everything should go smoothly. If that's the case, you can now use
your copy as your new production database.

As a side note, I don't think using an sqlite database is bad
practice. It make it super easy to backup your data.
