Is there a way to see manage.py sql output of "managed=False" models?

Hi;

In my project, we are using django 1.3.2, and we're on the verge of
migrating to 1.4.
I wrote a standalone app, in which I've created some models with

class Meta:
managed = False

setting in every model class. (The reason why I did like this is, I
prefer to use a different DB than the default one for mapping those
models.)
Now, I want to create the tables on my **app_db_name** DB, so I use the command

python manage.py sqlall appname --database=app_db_name

However this manage.py sql(all) commands checks for the models and if
they are set to be managed by the users, this command gives no
outputs.

So, I've hacked into the code a little, and found that
**django.db.backends.creation** module's **sql_create_model()**
function has such a check:

def sql_create_model(self, model, style, known_models=set()):
"""
Returns the SQL required to create a single model, as a tuple of:
(list_of_sql, pending_references_dict)
"""
....
if not opts.managed or opts.proxy:
return [], {}
....

So I solved my problem by commenting out this if clause.

What I want to ask is, is there a better way of seeing my managed
models' sql create statements?
I'd prefer to have an option like "--show-managed" to "python
manage.py sql" or sqlall commands, so that this can me done.

What are your comments on this issue?

Thanks.
