Hi, I've used Ruby on Rails and CakePHP and am considering using Django for my next site coz I'm intrigued by Python. I have a few questions that I couldn't find the answer to in the docs:
1) Does your webhost need to support Django specifically or is it sufficient if they support Python? (e.g. with CakePHP you just need general PHP support). 2) I want to use raw sql for all my select queries (to have 100% control and because I don't see the point of learning another query language - I do like ORM to insert/update records from a form). Can I use multiline strings? Not sure because of the python empty space thing, and the examples in the documentation are all on one line. E.g. in PHP I do something like the following, which I can copy/paste straight into my db tools. $qry = " SELECT * FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table2 ON ... WHERE ... ORDER BY LIMIT " 3) Would django return the results of a query like this line by line, or does it process it. In Cake the fields from table1 and table2 get put in separate sub-arrays, which I like. 4) I read somewhere in the documentation that you can use other templating systems than Django's own. Is it also possible to just use Python inside the views? Tia for any answers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
