It's pretty daunting compared to the easy way (automating the dumping/reloading and manual editing of sql files). I think the implementation of such a beast would be very difficult though - there are too many gotchas that have broad impact on the rest of the db. It's easy enough to prune away at a model but the real difficulties come when you want to add new fields, especially required fields. I was just hoping for some django magic to do it all for me ;)
Now what would be fun would be something to populate a database table with random words or gibberish... Luke Skibinski Holt
