Re: Model Generation for CSV, XLS Files

[Mariusz Felisiak]

Hi,

Please take a look at existing ticket #5253 
 which was rejected. We should 
reach a strong consensus on the mailing list to reopen a closed ticket (see 
triaging guidelines with regards to wontfix tickets 
),
 
but I think that Russ' comment 
 is still valid.

Best,
Mariusz

Re: Model Generation for CSV, XLS Files

[Muskan Vaswan]

Django-import- export is along the lines of what I want to implement, this 
is how i eventually managed to import a csv file as a user there are 
drawbacks to the library, the biggest one being its not the easiest to use 
without admin integration, which isn't always possible in large projects... 
I wanted to implement something similar to loaddata, but for .csv files, or 
.xls files rather than just the dumpdata.json  

```python manage.py dumpdata > dumped_data.json```
and ```python manage.py loaddata < dumped_data.json``` do an Excellent job 
of taking data from existing django models and re using them, I was 
thinking about adding a similar functionality for datasets into models. 

So something like ```*python manage.py loaddata datast.csv .*```
Do you think this would be helpful?

P.S. I'm very new to this so I'm not sure how to go about making a proposal 
in the community etc, so if I'm doing this wrong, please point me to the 
correct direction

Re: Increasing support for Microsoft SQL Server

[Warren Chu]

Thanks for link references - they've been helpful.

We're in the process of forking the existing django-mssql-backend 
 and setting up 
related pipelines. We're also reviewing previously logged Github issues, 
and preparing an internal Django app as a tool and onboarding opportunity. 
Are there any other hot topics related to Django and MSSQL? We're happy to 
discuss offline in a video call as well.

Cheers,
Warren

Re: Improving MSSQL and Azure SQL support on Django

[Warren Chu]

Hi All,

Microsoft has now committed ongoing resources towards improving MSSQL and 
Azure SQL support for Django. We're currently focused on internal 
compliance and forking the ESSolutions django-mssql-backend 
, adding testing 
pipelines, refactoring the Django DB engine naming convention, and 
addressing current test suite errors.

We'd love to hear from current mssql-backend maintainers as well as 
mssql-backend users about the existing issues and feature requests that we 
should be prioritizing.

We looking forward to engaging the community and working towards MSSQL as a 
first-class supported backend for Django.

-Warren

Re: Model Generation for CSV, XLS Files

[Philip Mutua]

Hi Musksan,

You need to implement some functionality to upload the CSV file and read it
then upload data into into database in bulk. You can django has a way to
add multiple objects using bulk_create. Here is a full example I hope it
will help.
