magus - could I selectively turn off debugging (within certain views for example) and then access and display something from an errors collection on a custom 500 template? (assuming there is an errors collection)

because it cant!

YOU will still be telling it what to do

so why not tell it with alter table?

you guys act like its impossible to get right

no, we havn't figured out a way yet

:)

EyePulp: no

Sure we have. I just gave you one above.

Huvet: there is no way to do it without requiring your input

i'm not prevented from writing my own homegrown process for doing it now. i think it's pretty lame, however, that everyone has to write the same basic app to do deployment is all I"m saying.

so there's nothing to find

Magus-: can I have an ice cream cone?

Sedrik: they don't - go write or use a 3rd party one

dur

of course not, my input is renaming a field, or deleting one

sure, but it's a CORE part of the process.

I disagree

if I didn't the model woudln't change

I agree

and hey look, ALTER TABLE is input for renaming or deleting too :��

yes, just like create table :)

ok, so im trying to do a lookup, the SQL isnt what i want. im sure theres a better way that actually works. m = models.objects.all; for tag in tag_list: m = m.filter(tags__name__iexact = tag) and i want it to return all objects that have all tags in tag_list...but i get nothing.

and sqlite can't even do it at all

Huvet: creating is something that CAN be calculated though

altering is not

period

I firmly believe that there is a good way to do this nicely, it's just that we havn't figured out how just yet... but saying "it isn't possible" over and over is going to get people not interested in trying to solve it better

make it easier for people

because it isn't possible to make it not require user input

so why do some custom syntax for changing

when a perfectly good one already exists
