synopsis: | Makes the current database have the same data as the fixture(s), no more, no less. |
---|
Django command similar to 'loaddata' but also deletes. After 'syncdata' has run, the database will have the same data as the fixture - anything missing will be added, anything different will be updated, and anything extra will be deleted.
Tip
Command will loop over fixtures inside installed apps and pathes defined in FIXTURE_DIRS
.
Assuming that you've got sample.json under fixtures directory in one of your INSTALLED_APPS
:
$ python manage.py syncdata sample.json
If you want to keep old records use --skip-remove
option:
$ python manage syncdata sample.xml --skip-remove
You can provide full path to your fixtures file like:
$ python manage syncdata /var/fixtures/sample.json
