Can we use Database with Django without creating models

[Mayank Tripathi]

Hi Team,

I am trying to get options to connect to Database from Python-Django App.

But here the requirement is I already have a Database setup (MySQL) with all required tables and fields.

So am not willing to use models.py and create tables.

Is there a way still i can use the tables... and still be able to do similar query which is done using ORM (i mean Django default querysets).

Please suggest.

Adding more details...

I did tried inspectdb, but having other different issues with this. Here i want to purely use the legacy / existing database.

Thanks & Regards,

Inspectdb is the way to go.

Nothing is stopping you from just running sql queries though your DB python package like mysql-connector. 

You will loose much of the extras django provides with using the django-orm like admin connections to your database.

Maybe flask would suit your use case better?
