How to write a create/update view for an unmanaged model?
Post Body
I have an unmanaged model named 'Dummy'. I want to render a form named 'DummyForm' to either create or update records in the table. But I keep getting an error "cursor "_django_curs_10804_sync_1" does not exist". How can I solve this error? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I am not sure if there is something wrong in my view as I am trying to create and update using the same view.
class Dummy(models.Model):
firstname = models.CharField(max_length=255)
lastname = models.CharField(max_length=255)
age = models.IntegerField()
class Meta:
managed = False
db_table = 'dummy'
class DummyForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Dummy
fields = '__all__'
def dummy_update(request, pk):
instance = Dummy.objects.using('postgresdb').get(pk=pk)
if request.method == 'POST':
if instance:
form = DummyForm(request.POST, instance=instance)
else:
form = DummyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid()
form.save(using='postgresdb')
return redirect('homepage')
else:
if instance:
form = DummyForm(instance=instance)
else:
form = DummyForm()
return render(request, 'dummy_update.html', {'form': form}
dummy_update.html template
{% block content %}
<div class="container">
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form | crispy }}
<button class="btn btn-outline-success" type="submit">Update</button>
</form>
</div>
{% endblock content %}
