How to get './manage.py syncdb' to create additional views or run custom SQL?

Question

Is there a way to run some custom SQL statements after syncdb does this by creating tables for models? In particular, I would like to create several database views.

Answer 1

Note. As mentioned in the comments, this method is deprecated from Django 1.7.

Or just create a file called sql / <modelname>. sql: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/initial-data/#providing-initial-sql-data

Answer 2

Yes, there are signals that can be caught after syncdb.

See control signals for documents.

Here's how the contrib.auth permission table is populated, as well as the contenttypes frame table.
