running migrate through views itself

[kk]

Hello all.
The financial project I am developing requires that when the user creats
on create organization. the Migrate command has to be run automatically.
I have 2 questions regarding this.
1, If I am using sqlalchemy instead of sqlobject, will the migrate
utility work?
2, If yes then how can I do this through code in a view function? if no
then is there a way to do it through sqlalchemy? or should I use the
create_all function in sqlalchemy itself?

Happy hacking.

You can execute management commands from Python code using call_command():

It seems a bit risky to me to expose functionality to your users that allow them to change your database schema as a result of some action. This isn't really how Django is designed in terms of having models which map to database tables, but I suppose there could be use cases for doing that. I'll be curious to learn if others have done anything like you propose.

In the project, every year new books are opened and every organization has it's own database for ever every financial year.
Happy hacking.
