Re: put some initial data in the db

[Gennan Chen]

Thanks! Joe and Russ. I plan to do it this way. I am pretty new to django. So, i really don't want to mess it too much, such as create my own manger etc...

That's exactly what we did, and have both "initial_data.py" and "example_data.py" as a part of our build & testing process. At the start, we just have the model imports and away we go. It's not build in to the framework, but it's not hard to use either. -joe On 8/2/06, Gennan Chen < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks for help. I did feel this hook is kind of strange since the whole idea of using model/DB API is to avoid writing SQL script.  Since initial info I need to put in is some system info (such as host name, ip address...), which are not fixed, I intend to write another py file to do that instead of generating SQL dynamically. However, can I override class's __init__ function? Or I need to create a customized Manager for that??  Gen On Aug 2, 2006, at 3:38 PM, Malcolm Tredinnick wrote: On Wed, 2006-08-02 at 14:52 -0700, Gennan Chen wrote: Hi! is there any way to put some initial data in the db by using "syncdb" option?
