Working with Data in Django

Django ORM

• https://books.agiliq.com/projects/django-orm-cookbook/en/latest/index.html
• on_delete attribute
• Include & Exclude

Creating Data

• Dumpdata & LoadData

Migrations

• Resetting Migrations

Using Inbuilt Django Models

• User Model

Notes

If blank=True then the field will not be required, whereas if it's False the field cannot be blank.
The exception is CharFields and TextFields, which in Django are never saved as NULL. Blank values are stored in the DB as an empty string ('')
CHAR and TEXT types are never saved as NULL by Django, so null=True is unnecessary.
