Description
On django-admin.py install [app], the file [app]/sql/[modelname].sql gets piped to the database if it exists. This is useful for regenerating test data when developing new applications where the DB must be smashed repeatedly. I think it should be documented somewhere in docs/model_api or at least in the FAQ.

It should be also documented that users can get database engine-specific
initial SQL data/statements to be loaded/executed at this stage, see
Also, maybe a note about the fact that there is no specific guaranteed order
of execution for those files could be added, see
