This makes alot of sense and works in my case - many thanks. However, still unclear as to how to specify which table should be created in which database when you do want to syncdb to both databases. I may have 2 tables in models.py that I want to point to db_1 and 3 tables in models.py I want to sync to db_2 - how would I go about this?
