Folks,
Dunno if this is the right place to ask this question but I
would like to get a copy of all the Django documentation as
a single download and not have to go to the actual Django site.
Does the documentation exist as a single download?
I have been looking for an MDA framework for a multi-table data model
I currently have documented in a data modelling case tool. I have that
data model in MySQL and am slowly looking into how to Django-enable it.
I first tried reverse engineering the MySQL model into Django but was
not happy with the result - probably because I still don't understand
Django well enough. Then, because the CASE tool I use allows for user
scripting, I decided to go from what I know (the model) to Django so
I wrote a new script that generate Django models. My initial scripts are
producing Django models that "django-admin.py sql ..." then turns into
MySQL
SQL that are almost identical to my original model-driven SQL (both for
Oracle
and for MySQL)! This "test" has given me great hope and now I am
considering
deleting all the "physical" model artifices in my original model and
returning
it to a standard logical model and let Django generate the physical model
eg
I model the many-to-many intersection table myself even though it does not
contain
any other attributes than the keys.
I am taking this approach as this is one of the best ways of learning any
new framework
or language - apply it to something concrete that needs to be done. But
there is so
much to learn especially for someone who does not know anything about
Python which is
why I have asked about single documentation downloads. I do not always
have access to
the internet (I am a consultant who is often on the road).
regards
Simon
