Question

In my Django app, models.py, I have this field that I have just recently added.

 Class Client
     user  = models.ForeignKey(User)

I want to add this field in mysql to an existing table. Problem is I don’t know the command for dealing with foreign keys. The name of my table that I want to add this column is called tiptop_clients.

You could use the sqldiff-command of django-extensions:

Django command that scans all models
for the given appnames and compares
there database schema with the real
database tables.

It indicates how columns in the
database are different from the SQL
that would be generated by Django.
This command is not a database
migration tool. Though it might
certainly be of help during
migrations. It’s purpose is to show
the current differences as a way to
checking or debugging your models
compared to the real database tables
and columns.
