Django allows to dump put a database via common interface: ::
$ python manage.py dumpdata --all --natural > all.json
The natural
flag helps to preserve some things like contenttypes and permissions
This data can be incorporated into database like this: ::
$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py migrate # If using south
$ python manage.py loaddata all.json
To prevent issues with initial data in django-dev (1.5) version the --not-initial-data flag can eb set. Otherwise on for instance Postgres surn the following before loaddata: ::
=# delete from auth_group_permissions; delete from auth_permission; delete from django_admin_log; delete_content_type;
