Tim, Others are welcome to disagree, but try to avoid the trap of using JSON fixtures to migrate the database. You can get yourself in trouble pretty quickly with foreign key collisions if you are not careful. Use pg_dump or mysqldump instead to backup/move database content. A good strategy is to do content updates on the production site and test/develop against database snapshots locally.
Also, when you change the models, it is worth learning how to use South to do schema migration. http://south.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial/part1.html Brian Schott [email protected] On Apr 9, 2013, at 4:37 AM, Tom Evans <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 1:09 AM, Tim Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: >> FYI - I'm new to django, but have been doing web programming since >> '96 and python since '03. >> >> I intend to put together a test site on my desktop and push it to a >> remote server.
