> The main purpose of this for me is to have the ''site'' living in the
different namespace, but in the same database (PostgreSQL); not to have
the models/apps in dedicated namespaces. In this way you can run
completely different sites (users, models...) within the same database -
useful if you do not have full control over the database (hosting for
example).
That kind of support would still not benefit the majority of those that
crave schema support, i.e. those that are trying to make django work with
a legacy postgresql database, and those that are used to having tables
sorted nicely into schemas.
Developers that are used to postgresql use schemas to keep their db tidy
and managable, that is the foremost reason to use schemas. I don't see
many usecases for what you are implementing over having each site in it's
own database, although I'm sure there are some.
Would it be hard to implement my suggestion into your changes?
i.e. allowing each app to override the site-wide schema, and possibly each
model also?
By the way, I don't mean to come of harsh, I'm really grateful for your
work
