Django Database Prefix

Question

I need to merge two databases for two different apps. How can add prefix to all Django tables to avoid any conflict?

For example, option should look like:

Answer 1

You can use meta options for model,

class ModelHere():
      class Meta:
          db_table = "tablenamehere"

Edit

If you want to add prefix to all of your tables including auth_user, auth_group, etc. Then you are looking for something like django-table-prefix. Just install and add some settings to settings file and you are done.

1. Add 'table_prefix', to installed apps,
2. Set the table prefix as DB_PREFIX = 'nifty_prefix'

Then run syncdb and the output will be,
