Put your user and permissions into a fixture called initial_data, and it will be automatically loaded whenever you run syncdb. If you don't want it to be automatically loaded (which is a good idea if you're dealing with passwords), choose another fixture name, and manually load the data using ./manage.py loaddata. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/initial-data/ http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/serialization/ http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#loaddata-fixture-fixture You can write your fixtures by hand if you want; alternatively, you can use the dumpdata command to dump the current database contents (or part of the database): http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#dumpdata Yours, Russ Magee %-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
