"""
dbpickle.py is a Django tool for saving all database objects into a
file or loading and storing them back into the database.  It's useful
for migrating from one database engine to another.

This version handles ForeignKeys which refer to the related model's
primary key.  ManyToMany relations are now supported, but OneToOne
relations are not.

You can also use you own plugin for pre-processing objects before
saving them into the database.  This is useful e.g. when a model has
changed and you're importing objects from an old version of the
database.  The plugin should be a Python program with a
``pre_save_hook(obj)`` and/or ``pre_walk_hook(obj)`` function which
returns True if it modified the object, otherwise False.


Usage example
=============

Let's suppose your project is using PostgreSQL and the database has
been populated using the app.

$ PYTHONPATH=/home/myproject DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings \
  ./dbpickle.py --dump --file=myproject.pickle

At this point you could change the settings so that SQLite is used
instead of PostgreSQL.

$ PYTHONPATH=/home/myproject DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings \
  /home/myproject/manage.py syncdb

(answer 'no' when asked about creating a superuser)

$ PYTHONPATH=/home/myproject DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings \
  ./dbpickle.py --load --file=myproject.pickle

This would effectively convert your database from PostgreSQL to SQLite
through Django.
