If I can summarize the different thoughts for having a Django connector for
nosql db like Mongodb:
1. Don't mix up relational database with a document store database
- Document store DBs also have syntax for performing relation lookups
within them. Possibly complex relational operations are not supported but
lookups from one table/collection to another is possible
2. Use a completely new wrapper to deal with non-rel DBs
- That's a bit ridiculous, because now I have to reinvent Django ORM,
contrib packages and everything under the sun.
3. Use 2 DBs one for contrib packages other for website specific data.
- Managing 2 DBs is a troublesome marriage.
4. Translating SQL to Mongodb syntax is not easy/ Impossible.
- It's not easy, but has been done: djongo
<https://github.com/nesdis/djongo>. SQL DBs have a lot of features,
SQLite has very few, Django can work with DBs that support or don't
support
transactions.
Does it matter to the end user, what the underlying DB really is? By adding
support for other DBs into Django, it's accessible to larger user base.
