while certainly it's possible to configure this as a second database and use the ORM, I've found that it's more work than usually needed. especially if you already have defined SQL patterns, or worse, stored procedures. porting those to ORM means debugging them again... but there's nothing preventing you from using any Python way to access that data. particularly if you're going to treat it as read-only. just write some utility functions that use ODBC or any other interface to pull your data and use that in your Django views, or even in your models. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
