Deploying your Django site doesn't have to be that painful. You can do it in a single command with https://github.com/gcollazo/Fabulous. It'll take you about an hour to have a full stack running with a bit of tweaking. On 18 December 2014 at 11:11, James Schneider wrote:

As a reformed PHP and Drupal developer, I can say with 100% certainty that trying to crowbar Drupal (or any CMS) in to performing actions that are outside of the built-in core functionality is a nightmare at best. I wrote half a dozen custom modules (~6K SLOC), and at least 30% of that was wasted

You might want to try using a many to one relationship, it adds a table lookup but offers flexibility where the data is in the database instead of the application and for large data sets can be much faster. It's also good database normalization practice. class StudentType(Models.Model):

The official django doc uses this as an example (see below). Is there any point to storing 'FR' instead of 'Freshman" so the choice matches what is stored? Is it faster at all? Saves room? What about for querying the data? Then you have to lookup the symbol 'FR' in the tuple if someone wants to
