Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
So this means that django officially can't be used to interface with
legacy databases or external applications using binary fields? bas64 works
great when you design the database from scratch, but when integrating your
app with another application that uses blob-fields it simply won't work-
In my case I'm building a web front end for XBT Tracker which uses blob
fields for storing hashes. I can't change that without editing a lot of
XBTT's source code and since I'm no C++ genius that doesn't seem very
wise.
Interfacing "the web" with legacy databases and external applications
should be a rather common task by now :/ I mean... there's even a chapter
on it in djangobook. Not having all the field types I can live with, but
not even being able to handle it using custom SQL seems odd.
