Question

Please i dont know what is wrong, i used south for model migration, my question is, is it
perfectly alright to use south or is the django traditional way i.e (manage.py dbshell) any better.

My second question, i tried using manage.py dbshell, but i get the message each time.

‘sqlite3’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Thanks.

Answer 1

sqlite3 is a database that saves the records in a single file, the command dbshell is for going into the database shell. It works with MySQL and PostgreSQL, but not with SQLite.

BTW, if you are using south, its fine, dbshell is when you need to do something with the database but, if south does it for you, is fine.
