Hi Mike, There is a branch that supports multiple databases in the repository. It's quite out of date in the SVN repo but Koen put in some stirling work over the period of the sprint and produced a patch against trunk at around r6100. Multiple-db support is a feature that is asked for very regularly, unfortunately there have been issues getting the latest changes into the repo so others can use the branch. This is mainly due -as I understand it - to quality of the code, lack of working tests, and the fact that the core devs are busy on other things. I can send you a copy of the patch if you like, or there's an earlier patch attached to ticket 4747 which is the current version I'm using in production. Koen is busy this week I think, but we're probably going to discuss refactoring the multi-db branch to take advantage of recent changes in the backend code in the near future. At present multi-db is usable, and as I said I have it in one of my projects right now. Having said that, it's quite beta and to get the most out of it you're going to have to be pretty happy digging through django's internals. If you are happy doing that we'd love some help with it, as there's still a lot to be done! If you want either patch then send me a mail, and of course if you have any problem/comments/suggestions I'm more than happy to help. Cheers, Ben
