Yes, you can still the ORM. Obviously, using Django to create the tables will be the easiest approach, but if you manually (or otherwise external to Django) create the database tables, the Django ORM will still be able to interact with those tables as long as you create Django model definitions that match the tables that you create manually. If the Django ORM default table/column naming scheme doesn't match the scheme that you use when you manually create the tables, you can use the Meta class field 'db_table' and the db_column attribute on fields to tell Django to use other table/column names. The process might be automatable using './manage.py inspectdb' to derive a Django model from the table definitions. This will usually give a good starting point, but will always come across edge cases - inspect the output of 'inspectdb' before you base project work on it.
