This command will read any files under ``<appname>/sql/`` that have the same
name as the lower-cased version of a model name (so if your app includes a
model called ``Poll``, the file ``poll.sql`` will be read). These files are
expected to be valid SQL files and their contents are piped into the database
after all of the models' table creation statements have been executed. This
can be used to populate the tables with any necessary initial records or test
data.
For each model in each specified app, this command looks for the file
``<appname>/sql/<modelname>.sql``, where ``<appname>`` is the given appname and
``<modelname>`` is the model's name in lowercase. For example, if you have an
app ``news`` that includes a ``Story`` model, ``sqlinitialdata`` will attempt
to read a file ``news/sql/story.sql`` and append it to the output of this
command.

Seeding models with initial data
================================
Providing initial SQL data
==========================
Sometimes, once the database tables for a model are created, you will want to
populate them with some default records or perhaps some testing data. For each
model you have like this, create a file named after the lower-cased version of
the model's name, with an extension of ``.sql``. Put this file in a directory
called ``sql/`` under your application directory (so, ``myapp/sql/poll.sql``
for ``Poll`` model in the ``myapp`` application).
Django provides a hook for passing the database arbitrary SQL that's executed
just after the CREATE TABLE statements. Use this hook, for example, if you want
to populate default records, or create SQL functions, automatically.
This file should contain valid SQL statements that can be executed to create
the initial data you would like to insert. These files are read by the
``sqlinitialdata``, ``sqlreset``, ``sqlall`` and ``reset`` commands in
``manage.py``. Refer to the `manage.py documentation`_ for more
information.
The hook is simple: Django just looks for a file called
``<appname>/sql/<modelname>.sql``, where ``<appname>`` is your app directory and
``<modelname>`` is the model's name in lowercase.
In the ``Person`` example model at the top of this document, assuming it lives
in an app called ``myapp``, you could add arbitrary SQL to the file
``myapp/sql/person.sql``. Here's an example of what the file might contain::
INSERT INTO myapp_person (first_name, last_name) VALUES ('John', 'Lennon');
INSERT INTO myapp_person (first_name, last_name) VALUES ('Paul', 'McCartney');
Each SQL file, if given, is expected to contain valid SQL. The SQL files are
piped directly into the database after all of the models' table-creation
statements have been executed.
The SQL files are read by the ``sqlinitialdata``, ``sqlreset``, ``sqlall`` and
``reset`` commands in ``manage.py``. Refer to the `manage.py documentation`_
for more information.
