Creating patients directly in the Database

Ask OpenMRS

Application Name: Reference Application Version Number: 2.4

Question: I’m running OpenMRS locally to make a small simulation of a hospital, for which I need patients. I programmed a little python script which inserts data into the database directly, and works fine, however, when I look for the people I just created within the application. I think the problem is when I create the person, as in the manage persons tab they are not found either. Is there something else I have to do to create patients directly in the database, besides just inserting data?

Thanks in advance
