Questions tagged [django-syncdb]

`django-admin.py syncdb` is a command which creates the database tables for all apps in `INSTALLED_APPS` whose tables have not already been created.

django-admin.py syncdb is a command which creates the database tables for all apps in INSTALLED_APPS whose tables have not already been created.

Use this command when you've added new applications to your project and want to install them in the database. This includes any apps shipped with Django that might be in INSTALLED_APPS by default.

Syncdb is not a database-migration tool, like south. Syncdb can install your models in the database, but it cannot alter your database after changes in existing models.
