title: Django model form save (multi database) question
body: <p>another noob Django question. The below both work for me, is there any difference or anything I should be aware of ? I'm using Django 1.2.5. Thanks.</p>
  
  <pre><code>o = Staff()
  form = StaffForm(request.POST, instance=o)
  
  if form.is_valid():
    o.save(using='dbName')
  
  
  o = Staff()
  form = StaffForm(request.POST, instance=o)
  
  if form.is_valid():
    f = form.save(commit = False)
    f.save(using='dbName')
  </code></pre>
