I am planning some utility helper code to push selected records and their children from our staging database into the production database. The current database would be 'default' and I could add a second one called 'production' then read from 'default' and write to 'production'. (I need to check we are on the staging server).

The docs say ...

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/db/multi-db/#using-managers-with-multiple-databases

... but I don't quite understand. There are no custom managers involved; only the out-of-the-box MyModel.objects.

Q1. Should I be using db_manager()?

The plan is to write some utility code like this ...

from substance.models import Substance def write_substance_to_production(subst): prd_subst, create = Substance.objects.using('production').get_or_create( name=subst.name, ) if create: pass # copy all subst attributes except id to prd_subst

Q2. Is this a reasonable approach?

Thanks for any hints

Mike
