Heh, whoops. So I'm reading in all the information about a machine from a file that is generated periodically on the machine (XML right now). I need to compare all the data about that machine to what's currently in the database, and create a new entry if anything has changed.
The models are really more complicated than I posted (obviously) but the current idea is to key on the hostname, but to compare every single little bit of data in the model to detect changes. -josh On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 09:40:24PM -0400, Andre Terra wrote: > You'll first have to explain what you mean by 'reading from a file' > and 'comparing'. > > Are we comparing against serialized model exports?
