I'm using django for a final project in my masters program at UC Berkeley, and I'm trying to sort out exactly how the database works. I would spend a bunch of time figuring this out myself, but I am working in a team, and my teammates need this info asap.
My teammates are making scrapers that pull information from various .gov websites, and then dump that information into a mysql database. It's my job to use django to make queries on that database, and to build a web front end to it. We've developed a data model for the database, but my question is what's the best way to interface between the data they're dumping in, and django? I have two thoughts about this...both of which are probably wrong: 1. They can build a separate database, and I can pull from it using custom sql queries within my django code; or 2. I can use django models to flesh out the database, and then they can dump into the tables that were created by the syncdb command. Can people opine as to what the best way to do this might be, or what kinds of problems we can anticipate if we do the above? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
