Question

I would like to completely empty the entire database, restoring it to the way it was when I just created it, using Django’s manage.py. Possible?

Answer 1

What you can do to flush the DB and not have any migrate(south) problem afterwards is:

first, reset the data from the DB:

python manage.py flush

second, fake the migrations that are already applied:

python manage.py migrate --fake

third, if you have some fixture to load:

python manage.py loaddata my_sweet_json_file
