Answer 1

For me the to truncate my local sqllite database I end up with python manage.py flush.

What I have initial tried is to iterate over the models and delete all to rows one by one:

models = [m for c in apps.get_app_configs() for m in c.get_models(include_auto_created=False)]

        for m in models:
            m.objects.all().delete()

But becuse I have Protected foreign key the success of the operation depended on the order of the models.

So, I am using te flush command to truncate my local test database and it is working for me https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-flush
