Question

I am trying to implement Northwind database model in MySQL using Django-admin for displaying data. Does someone know how to do it “clean” way from original model? Is there any functional implementation to download (models, admin)?

Answer 1

Totally untried procedure follows. Not sure what you mean by ‘clean’. Here’s a few things on the internet that might help:

Step 1 – export from Access to MySQL:

Step 2 – point django at the database and use inspectdb to create models.py

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#inspectdb

Step 3 – clean up models.py, run syncdb, add it to the admin, see what you go.

Step 4 – ask this guy if he ever managed it:
