Django - create object in a specific database

Question

To save a model to my 'not_default_db' I'm using :

 p = Person(name='James')
 p.save(using='not_default_db')

But using Model.create() save the model in the default DB:

Person.objects.create(name='James')

Is it possible to use Model.create() on a specifc Data Base ?

You have to specify multiple database in your settings.py file. You can read the Django documentation (docs.djangoproject.com/fr/2.0/topics/db/multi-db). Then, I suspect issue in your request. — Essex

Try to use queryset's using() method:

Person.objects.using('not_default_db').create(name='James')
