To he honest I don't know why the DATABASE setting is left in settings.py, it definitely can be confusing.
I believe the reason databases are not synced by the fabfile is because that's not a very common (or advised) operation. Most of the time developers want to keep production and development DBs completely separated. However, I can think of a few situations where this could be useful, and the general algorithm for a Fabric task would be: 1. Run pg_dump in your dev machine, output to file. 2. Upload file to the project folder in the server. 3. (Optional) Backup current production DB. 4. Run pg_restore in the server from the latest uploaded SQL dump. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
