Hi

I have a few questions regarding Postgres and django, if anyone can help.

I set up a database and user name through the postgres console eg. myDatabaseName, myUsername. I set up a superuser using the manage.py in the bash console, myUsername.

I have set up my models and migrated them, and can see and access the tables in the admin site.

1. Are the tables/data that i can access on the admin site stored on the Postgres database i created through the postgres console? Are they separate db's? Struggling to find how they are connected as I would like to use SQL to insert data, etc.

2. Is there a pgAdmin UI that can be used for the Postgres database or is it console only?

3. For inserting and updating data on the database can I use SQL (hoping not console only), or is it only a populating script in python?

4. To add/update entries to the admin site database (assuming this is hte same postgres db i created), can i execute SQL commands using psycopg2 via python script?

2. No, it's console only
3. Yes, you can use SQL
