+====================
+django-database-view
+====================
+
+A simple pluggable application that allows to work with database views.
+
+Quick start
+-----------
+
+1. Add "dbview" to your INSTALLED_APPS settings like this::
+
+   INSTALLED_APPS = (
+     ...
+     'dbview',
+   )
+
+2. In your models.py create classes which extend dbview.models.DbView
+like this::
+
+.. code-block:: python
+   :caption: models.py
+   :name: models.py
+
+   ...
+   from dbview.models import DbView
+
+   ...
+   class MyView(DbView):
+      fieldA = models.OneToOneField(modelA, primary_key=True, db_column='fielda__id')
+      fieldB = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True, db_column='fieldb')
+
+      @classmethod
+      dev view(klass):
+          '''
+          This method returns the SQL string that creates the view, in this
+          example fieldB is the result of annotating another column
+          '''
+          qs = modelA.objects.all().\
+                      annotate(fieldb=models.Sum('fieldc')) .\
+                      annotate(fielda__id=models.F('pk')) .\
+                      order_by('fielda__id') .\
+                      values('fielda__id', 'fieldb')
+          return str(qs.query)
+
+3. Then create a migration point for your view generation, edit that migration
+and modify it to match:
