In Django, we can specify the database in which a model (table) should be created by defining the database in the settings.py file. We can have multiple databases defined in the settings.py file, each with a unique name and set of configurations.
To specify the database for a particular model, we can use the Meta
class within the model and set the db_table
attribute to the name of the table we want to create in the specified database.
For example, if we want to create a table called mytable
in a database named mydatabase
, we can define a model as follows:
class MyModel(models.Model):
# fields definition
class Meta:
db_table = 'mytable'
app_label = 'myapp'
managed = True
using = 'mydatabase'
In the above code, the db_table
attribute specifies the name of the table to be created in the database, using
attribute specifies the name of the database to use, and app_label
attribute specifies the name of the app containing this model. The managed
attribute is set to True, which means Django should create the table for this model when running migrations.
