> is it possible to setup python/django and run it on a sql server? yes, for small values of "run"...you might call it "walking" or "crawling" (or maybe "limping") rather than "running".
There has been various bits of code that allow for connecting, but SQL-Server is a bit broken in a number of ways that hobble Django's functionality. One of the big ones I noticed was data-set slicing (SQL-Server doesn't have a LIMIT/OFFSET syntax other than TOP N last I checked, and requires a lot of hoop-jumping to get working) which is used by pagination. Additionally, depending on which interface you use to access the server (mxODBC, pymssql, ado_mssql, etc), I've encountered occasional driver-related problems particularly with parameter escaping. I usually only hit this in complex queries, but having experienced what quality *can* be like with the other drivers, these failings left a sour taste in my mouth for working with SQL-Server. This may have just been a problem with the mxODBC driver that I have on hand, but YMMV. There was a ado_mssql backend in earlier revisions of trunk but it was removed in revision #7364 for lack of maint. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
