changing demo data mode

Question

if i have a new instance with demo data, on every module installation it will import the demo data.

How can i turn demo data off? So that i can install new modules without demo data?

Where does OpenERP 7 saves this information that the demo mode is on?

Ray Carnes · Answer

For each module, the demo field (readonly, boolean) on *ir.module.module* determines if demo data will be installed when the module is installed.
This relies on the demo tag in the *__openerp__.py* file**

Readonly fields can be changed via code.

Try the parameter --without-demo=True and no module will load the demo data.

You can try also a dict to selectively load deo data (but results can be unexpected because the relation between demo on modules).

Try the parameter --without-demo={'module': True} and only the modules specified will load the demo data.

/I reject your reality and substitute my own!/
After ten years of "this cannot be done", to toggle demo data for *all *modules to false:
​ UPDATE ir_module_module SET demo = 'f' WHERE demo = 't'; ​
A more selective WHERE /condition/ can be used to limit it to certain modules.

You must create a new instance.

Demo data is a setting that is turned on/off at the time you create the instance. If you tell it to import demo data at creation you cannot later turn it off.
