Hi, yes you can create a new python file in your app folder in order to run it you can enter django shell:
python manage.py shell Let's say your app is called 'chem' and your file is called 'helpers.py' in there you have defined a function called: 'convert_reactions_meta'. Then you can run ist by from chem.helpers import convert_reactions_meta convert_reactions_meta() Django will automatically create all missing tables if you run python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate You first have to do the database migration than write the script which converts the data. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
