Well, the data loaded by fixtures will remain, so if you need to add new data you'll just have to create and load a fixture with the new data.
It's easy to convert data to JSON or whatever, especially if your input isn't going to change. However, it seems like maybe you want something else altogether. If you are going to be dumping data periodically into a flat file, and then want to import it, then I'd use a script that can read that data and create and save new instances of your models. Here's a quick & dirty example I put up to illustrate this. It imports from a CSV, but you can easily adapt it. http://pastebin.com/f651cf8de Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
