syncdb creates tables in the database if they do not exist. syncdb does not alter existing tables in the databases. If you would like to automate the work of altering your database tables, there is an app called django-south which you can use to inspect your models and database, and generate migration scripts to update the database so that it corresponds with your models. Google knows more about this. Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
