I have an existing cgi based app that I'm starting to move over to django. I'm looking forward to seeing just what django can do for me.
Since the DB has quite a bit of data and I'd like to avoid recreating the DB model in django and moving the actual data, I've elected to use the ispectdb feature. But, I have some questions. I've already run 'python manage.py syncdb' Then I ran 'python manage.py inspectdb' I notice that inspectdb picks up the auth tables. I'm assuming I can get rid of those in generated models.py file. Am I correct in this assumption? The inspect didn't pick up any of the FKs that M2M's that I have, which I expected since MySQL doesn't really explicitly record that information. So I'll be adding those next. My main question is when I get the models.py file to match the existing DB, what do I do next? The documentation says I should syncdb or init. When I do this will django blow away any existing data, or will it keep what is already there since the models.py will match what it sees in the DB?
