How to clear a database from the CLI with manage py in Django

Question

I am using Django to build a website with MySQL. Now as I am learning so I need to change the Model very often so I want that all tables get cleared and new table get created.

But syncdb doesn't touch existing tables. Is there any better way to handle this problem?

Hello @kartik,

To drop the database and run syncdb again. Or you can run:

For Django >= 1.5

python manage.py flush

For Django < 1.5

python manage.py reset appname

Hope this help!!

Thank You!!
