Hello, It looks like you want a custom database backend. On http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/?from=olddocs#engine they say "You can use a database backend that doesn't ship with Django by setting ENGINE to a fully-qualified path (i.e. mypackage.backends.whatever). Writing a whole new database backend from scratch is left as an exercise to the reader; see the other backends for examples." So i suppose you can look to the other backends for examples.
