Gora, Thanks for the prompt response.
Sorry that I mentioned syncdb to create models from database instead of inspectdb; But in practice, i used inspectdb only and i am facing error condition. In short time, let me share the error. Thanks again. --SSK.

Please try out the nice Django tutorial on the site. Learning how to use syncdb is a very basic step, and you need to be completely familiar with this process. > Should I follow the second approach? > Or is there a way i can create tables and sync them to create models and make > them work successfully? Normally, with a framework like Django. one designs the system top-down; from user needs to models which the Django ORM translates to database tables for you. So, yes, that is the way to go. An exception is if one already has a database with tables, say from another site, or from Wordpress, Drupal, etc. In that case, one can use Django's inspectdb to create the initial models by examining the existing tables, i.e., the reverse of the normal process. While such auto-generated models are crude, they are fine as a base to start from.
