Create models table from exists database?

[Dario Concilio]

Hi to all!

I'm new of django, I've a question for you: Can I create a new project using an exists database?

I've a domotic system on Ubuntu Server, with a Postgres database that has several table. Actually the system uses a table by a python service and PHP portal for data management of domotic configuration.

I would change portal admin with a "django" portal, can I create a new django project using this database?

Django framework allows me to generate the system tables and complete models (model.py) from existing ones?

PS: I imagine this approach as the technique called "Database First" of various ORM.

Thanks to all.

Hi,
Yes, in principle you can.The keywords are "legacy database":

Check Legacy databases in the official doc. This is what you're looking for:

python manage.py inspectdb

Cheers.
