creating django model for existing database/sql view?

Question

I have inserted a definition for a view in $template_dir/sql/$someTableName.sql file. (create or replace view) so every time I run syncdb, the db views are created.

Answer 1

Try to use python manage.py inspectdb or python manage.py inspectdb > models.py

Answer 2

See Unmanaged models

You define the model as usual and add managed = False to the meta options:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    ...
    class Meta:
         managed = False
