Have you looked at this: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#how-django-knows-to-update-vs-insert It seems that if the object's primary key is not set, it'll be an insert; if it is set, according to the docs, you'll have to chack against the database. --- Amit > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
