selecting app for syncdb

[Michał Nowotka]

Hello,

Is the any particular reason why syncdb doesn't have argument with list of applications to be synced?

[Aaron C. de Bruyn]

If you have south installed, I believe you can use migrate which takes an app argument.

python manage.py migrate myapp

-A

I don't and I won't (south is not working with Oracle).

This discussion is getting to a place where it belongs either on django-users
or south-users; I should point out, though, that South does work with Oracle.
If I'm not mistaken, there are some problems with the latest released version
(0.7.6), which are already solved in the development version, and there is of
course the Oracle limitation of no-transactional-DDL; we picked an unreleased
version, and we use it in production with no special issues, in a project with
hundreds of migrations.

Shai.

FWIW, the latest released version is 0.8 as of earlier today:

Hi Michał,

The short answer is "inter-application dependencies". 

For example, if one application has a foreign key on a second application, and you only synchronise the first application, you won't be able to set up any foreign key constraints on the first application. If you use the project in this incomplete state, you'll get unpredictable behaviour from any join on this foreign key. Then, when you *do* run the syncdb on the second application, you need to be able to identify which foreign key columns have been correctly constrained.

While it may be *possible* to resolve these issues, it's must easier to just synchronise everything. 

Is there a particular reason that you want a per-app syncdb? I'm having difficulty thinking of a use case where this would be beneficial.

Yours,
