Yes, once you have executed the initial "python manage.py syncdb" your database will automatically be created by Django and you will be able to open in using SQLite. If you are starting a brand new project you should try "python manage.py startapp [appname]", which will create a new application in the existing Django project.
I would recommend using the Django database browser instead of sqlite3 - "python manage.py dbshell" is the command. This will open the appropriate database as per the name you have select in your settings.py file. -dls On Apr 4, 3:41 pm, zayatzz <alan.kesselm...@gmail.com> wrote: > So i should just set the database file name in settings.py and stop > worring about it untill i hit syncdb?' > > Alan. > > On Apr 4, 10:38 pm, Alex Gaynor <alex.gay...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Sat, Apr 4, 2009 at 3:34 PM, alan.kesselm...@gmail.com < > > > alan.kesselm...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hello > > > > I decided to check out django and i finished tutorial and it was all > > > good.
