Hi,

I'm working on my first Django project. Already read the tutorial but following along it to be sure not to miss anything.

I've been asked to rebuild a pre-existing website. It's basic in functionality: various users create complete descriptions of heritage items in the admin area, and the public page display the description, mostly in text format, sometimes with images too. The final user can navigate the items on the public page.

The data model contains many different classes and variables - it's well structured and doesn't need to change.

The data is stored into a MS SQL Server database. The new website will use PostgreSQL, so I need to convert the MSQSQL database and import it into PostgreSQL. I'm aware of inspectdb but I decided to manually write models.py from the ground to get acquainted both with the data and with django models.

What I'd like to know is:

- Should I work on the conversion and import of the MSSQL database into PosgreSQL without thinking about Django at this stage?

- I read that Django will add "_id" at the end of the field names. Should I worry about that? Or should I leave in PgSQL the same field names there was in MSSQL? How should I name my variables in models.py then?

- Any other advice will be very welcome :)

Thanks a lot for your help,

Jeremy
