+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 `. + +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 ` 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. -- cgit
