Answer 1

You can set managed = False in your model's Meta:

from django.db import models

class MyReadOnlyModel(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        managed = False

If False, no database table creation or deletion operations will be performed for this model. This is useful if the model represents an existing table or a database view that has been created by some other means.
