For example, you can have separate initial-data files for PostgreSQL and MySQL. For each app, Django looks for a file called ``<appname>/sql/<modelname>.<backend>.sql``, where ``<appname>`` is your app directory, ``<modelname>`` is the model's name in lowercase and ``<backend>`` is the value of ``DATABASE_ENGINE`` in your settings file (e.g., ``postgresql``, ``mysql``). Backend-specific SQL data is executed before non-backend-specific SQL data. For example, if your app contains the files ``sql/person.sql`` and ``sql/person.postgresql.sql`` and you're installing the app on PostgreSQL, Django will execute the contents of ``sql/person.postgresql.sql`` first, then ``sql/person.sql``.
