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 it thing creating the tables for the models? Specifically, I would like to create some database views.

Answer 1

Yes, there are signals you can catch after a syncdb.

See management signals for docs.

This is how the contrib.auth permissions table is populated, as well as the contenttypes framework table.
