Django flush vs sqlclear & syncdb

Question

Can anyone tell if there is a difference between

>manage.py flush  # or reset

and

>manage.py sqlclear appname | python m         


        

Answer 1

Official docs for

flush and sqlclear

Flush carries out the SQL Drops on the entire db, sqlflush only prints out the SQL that flush would actual run (again on the entire db). sqlclear prints out SQL Drops for a particular app or apps. Both flush and sqlflush/dbshell/syncdb will install fixtures.
