If you don't mind clearing data, just pipe the output of the appropriate
``django-admin.py sqlreset`` command into your database's command-line utility.
``manage.py sqlreset`` command into your database's command-line utility.
For example::
django-admin.py sqlreset appname | psql dbname
manage.py sqlreset appname | manage.py dbshell
That "psql" assumes you're using PostgreSQL. If you're using MySQL, use the

``django-admin.py sqlreset`` outputs SQL that clears the app's database
``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 PostgreSQL command-line utility, which accepts SQL as
input.
SQL directly to the database command-line utility, which accepts SQL as
input (``manage.py dbshell`` will launch the appropriate tool for the database
