If the problem is the table name, use  db_table  to set database table name.

Hi,

I have a project which has two applications, app_1 and app_2, when I run "python manage.py syncdb" it creates tables defined in model.py (same for both apps), but it creates tables like app_1_table1, app_1_table1, app_2_table1, app_2_table2, however, i want both applications use the same table prefix rather two different prefix.

more precisely I want my both apps use same model and one single database.

any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Burhan

Hi,

Thanks for the relpy, i set db_name under as meta information, now i am getting this error

django.db.utils.DatabaseError: table "mytable_author" already exists

this is because, for the app1 python syncdb has already created this table, now it attempts to create the same tables for app2.

is it possible to use the same model class for both app, at the moment models.py is placed in both app1 and app2.

regards

Burhan

Why do you define this model in app1 and in app2? Define it only in app1 and import it in app2 where you need (models, views, etc)
