django: db howto - 1

以在 Django 中使用 MySQL 为例，首先要安装 MySQL 和 MySQL-python 组件，确保 python 能执行 import MySQLdb。

MySQL 中创建数据库：

[root@bogon csvt03]#  mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:

mysql> create database csvt default charset utf8;
Query OK,  row affected (0.01 sec)

mysql>

创建工程 csvt03，并修改 csvt03/settings.py 中的数据库设置：

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'csvt',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        # The following settings are not used with sqlite3:
        'USER': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': 'wdlinux.cn',
        'HOST': '',                      # Empty for localhost through domain sockets or '127.0.0.1' for localhost through TCP.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default.
    }
}

创建应用 blog 并修改 csvt03/settings.py 中的应用设置，加入 blog 应用：

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'blog',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    # 'django.contrib.admin',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
    # 'django.contrib.admindocs',
)

Django 中使用 ORM（对象关系模型）来操作数据库，数据库操作的关键类是：django.db.models.Model。

在 blog/models.py 中实验数据库操作如下：

from django.db import models

class Employee(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=20)  # map 'name' field to db

同步数据库：

[root@bogon csvt03]#  python manage.py syncdb
Creating tables ...
Creating table auth_permission
Creating table auth_group_permissions
Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user_groups
Creating table auth_user_user_permissions
Creating table auth_user
Creating table django_content_type
Creating table django_session
Creating table django_site
Creating table blog_employee

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): no
Installing custom SQL ...
Installing indexes ...
Installed  object(s) from  fixture(s)
[root@bogon csvt03]#

在 MySQL 中查看同步结果：

mysql> use csvt;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> show tables;

mysql> desc blog_employee;

| name  | varchar(20) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

可见 Employee 类中的 name 所对应的数据库字段已经自动生成了。
