Re: Way to validate database inserts/updates not associated with forms?

[Don Arbow]

Well, I'm a Django noobie and still stumbling about with my first app, but I'll take a crack at this as I have similar requirements in a future version of my app. What I would do is use an AddManipulator (or ChangeManipulator for modifying existing data). If you look at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/ (specifically def create_place_with_validation) it appears rather straightforward. Instead of passing the data dictionary to the manipulator from request.POST, you would pass it from your XML parser. Then you call the manipulator's get_validation_errors method, your model should already be set up to validate.

In this particular case, the data is coming in off an XML feed and being inserted or updated into a Django model.  Can someone point me in the right direction?
