Re: "python manage.py syncdb" creates no tables (tutorial)

You do not need to run syncdb before creating your first app, syncdb search for the apps in INSTALLED_APPS and sync their models with the database, so you can run it anytime. Note that if you just change an existing model syncdb won't sync anything, you'll need migrations for that.

I'm following the tutorial on this page:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/

In it, the 'python manage.py syncdb' command is supposed to be run to
create tables for the apps in the INSTALLED_APPS setting, right? And
this bit seems to come before you start creating an app. Or have I
misunderstood it?
