-=========================================
-Integrating Django with a legacy database
-=========================================
-
-While Django is best suited for developing new applications, it's quite
-possible to integrate it into legacy databases. Django includes a couple of
-utilities to automate as much of this process as possible.
-
-This document assumes you know the Django basics, as covered in the
-:doc:`tutorial </intro/tutorial01>`.
-
-Once you've got Django set up, you'll follow this general process to integrate
-with an existing database.
-
-Give Django your database parameters
-====================================
-
-You'll need to tell Django what your database connection parameters are, and
-what the name of the database is. Do that by editing the :setting:`DATABASES`
-setting and assigning values to the following keys for the ``'default'``
-connection:
-
- * :setting:`NAME`
- * :setting:`ENGINE`
- * :setting:`USER`
- * :setting:`PASSWORD`
- * :setting:`HOST`
- * :setting:`PORT`
-
-Auto-generate the models
-========================
-
-.. highlight:: bash
-
-Django comes with a utility called :djadmin:`inspectdb` that can create models
-by introspecting an existing database. You can view the output by running this
-command::
-
- python manage.py inspectdb
-
-Save this as a file by using standard Unix output redirection::
-
- python manage.py inspectdb > models.py
-
-This feature is meant as a shortcut, not as definitive model generation. See the
-:djadmin:`documentation of inspectdb <inspectdb>` for more information.
-
-Once you've cleaned up your models, name the file ``models.py`` and put it in
-the Python package that holds your app. Then add the app to your
-:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting.
-
-Install the core Django tables
-==============================
-
-Next, run the :djadmin:`syncdb` command to install any extra needed database
-records such as admin permissions and content types::
-
- python manage.py syncdb
-
-Test and tweak
-==============
-
-Those are the basic steps -- from here you'll want to tweak the models Django
-generated until they work the way you'd like. Try accessing your data via the
-Django database API, and try editing objects via Django's admin site, and edit
-the models file accordingly.
