    <p>I'm new to Django (and databases in general), and I'm not sure how to structure the following. The sources of data I'll have for my site are:</p> <ol> <li>a blog</li> <li>for a few different games: <ul> <li>a high score list</li> <li>user-created levels</li> </ul></li> </ol> <p>If I were storing the data in ordinary files, I'd just have one file for each of the above. In Django, ideally (I think) I'd have a separate database for each of these, but apparently multiple database support isn't there for Django yet. I'm worried (unnecessarily?) about keeping everything in one database for two reasons:</p> <ol> <li><p>If I screw something up in one of the sections, I don't want to mess up the rest of the data.</p></li> <li><p>When I'm working on one of these sections, I'd like the freedom to easily change the model around. Since I've learned that <code>syncdb</code> doesn't, in fact, sync the database, I've decided that the easiest thing to do when messing around with a model is to simply wipe the database and start over. Again, I'm worried about messing up the other sections. I looked at <a href="http://south.aeracode.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">south</a>, and it seems like more trouble than it's worth during the planning stages of an app (but I'll reconsider later when there's actually valuable data).</p></li> </ol> <p>Part of the problem is that I'm not really comfortable keeping my data in a binary format. I'm used to text, so I can easily diff it, modify it in an editor, etc., without going through some magical database interface (I'm using postgresql, by the way).</p> <p>Are my fears unfounded? How do people normally handle this problem?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
