How can I force django to restart a database connection from the shell?

Question

I have a django project on a Digital Ocean server. From my local machine, I connect to the database through ssh:

ssh -L 63333:localhost:5432 me@my.server
         


        

Answer 1

You can use something like below

from django.db import connections
conn = connections['default']
conn.connect()

or

from django.db import connection
connection.connect()
