Question

I have database in PostgreSql named “tests”.
And i want to write sh script to syncdb it with django, run tests and then drop all tables.
Can anyone suggest a proper solution?
A bit of script:

DJANGO_DATABASE='tests' bin/django-admin.py syncdb  
bin/django-admin.py test MyApplication #tests will use "tests" db
sudo su postgres
psql tests
drop schema public; #i think i can drop schema and then syncdb.. or i'm wrong.
exit

As far as i know, django can do this for you. <– outdated

Actually, it changed a bit :).
But it’s still possible:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
./manage.py sqlclear | ./manage.py dbshell
./manage.py syncdb

this will pipe, the output of sqlclear management-command into the dbshell.
which will in turn execute it.

sqlclear will output DROP TABLE ... sql-statements.
