Re: put some initial data in the db

[Joseph Heck]

You might just consider using the model objects, or even the default manipulators, to create your base objects. That's exactly what we did, and have both "initial_data.py" and "example_data.py" as a part of our build & testing process. At the start, we just have the model imports and away we go.

It's not build in to the framework, but it's not hard to use either.

Thanks for help. I did feel this hook is kind of strange since the whole idea of using model/DB API is to avoid writing SQL script. 

Since initial info I need to put in is some system info (such as host name, ip address...), which are not fixed, I intend to write another py file to do that instead of generating SQL dynamically. However, can I override class's __init__ function? Or I need to create a customized Manager for that??
