How to customize table name for model classes and still use django managed tables

[Alexander Lamas]

Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is a discussion for this group.

I wonder if there is a way to stop django/python from adding the prefix "myapp" for all tables it creates when migrating.

I managed to use db_column='ColumnName' and now my tables have the column name I want, but, using db_table inside of my Meta class doesn't help anything.

I still want to keep Django to manage everything, but, not the table naming. :)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

db_table in model Meta should definitely change table name (after migrations of course). Maybe you made some kind of a typo and it didn't worked.

- Well planned is half done, and a half done has been sufficient before...

Hi Jani,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually yes, I did the migration using the db_table and it worked as I was planning.

I was just afraid of my unit tests, but, it seems all is working as it should.

Thanks for your reply though.

Cheers,

Alex
