Question

After making some changes in my models (eg. new field in a model and a new model) what is the best way of reflecting these changes to my populated database?

Another technique is to use the dumpdata and loaddata arguments to manage.py, killing your database in-between:

1. python manage.py dumpdata > dump.json
2. With an external tool, drop any affected tables, or kill the whole db
3. python manage.py loaddata dump.json

See manage.py docs for more.
