For example:: If you don't mind clearing data, your project's ``manage.py`` utility has an option to reset the SQL for a particular application:: manage.py sqlreset appname | manage.py dbshell manage.py reset appname ``manage.py sqlreset`` outputs SQL that clears the app's database table(s) and creates new ones. The above command uses a Unix pipe to send the SQL directly to the database command-line utility, which accepts SQL as input (``manage.py dbshell`` will launch the appropriate tool for the database configured in ``settings.py``). This drops any tables associated with ``appname`` and recreates them. If you do care about deleting data, you'll have to execute the ``ALTER TABLE`` statements manually in your database.
