Very very cool. With a django-admin style gui, and some method of auth, this could make prototyping new apps extremely quick for legacy (or other-department maintained) databases.

I've messed with inspectdb a few times, it's a good trick to know if you're in the land of django:

Caveat: It's also frigging miserable if you are in the minority of developers using Django with Oracle DB. It gets quite a bit wrong, but my main gripe is that I can't inspectdb against an Oracle table and then syncdb the resultant models and get the same (or even necessarily working) tables.

YMMV.

Your wish is my command. Django-style admin GUI added! Check out the GitHub page for a screenshot.

Authentication is next on my list...
