Description
In 0.96 release notes, there is a mention that fixtures should be used for initial data and custom sql for view, procedures, etc. However the model reference docs show an example using custom sql files and don't mention fixtures at all. For consistency the models ref should describe fixtures and distinguish between the use of fixtures & custom sql files.

Information about fixtures is dispersed between different parts of the documentation, I'm actually thinking of giving the concept of fixtures its own entry in the references list. Going to talk this over with Adrian.

It looks to me like these changes have been incorporated (or added independently) into the new docs. If there is something missing, please provide an updated diff against the new docs.

I'm nearly done with this, but I'm not going to have it done for the official 1.0 release. Sorry!

Jacob, do you have a partial rewrite of this in a local branch, or should I just take this patch and munge it appropriately? I don't want to duplicate work if you're partially there.

The docs/howto/initial-data.txt file appears to contain a fairly clear discussion of the two options here. Closing this, since it looks fairly complete. If somebody wants to do something else, open a new ticket with a clear patch against trunk that we can evaluate, but I think the proposed changes have all been merged in now.
Agree.
