The Django paginator works with lists/tuples, so all you have to do is either let your "other DB" act like a list/tuple, or build a small wrapper that allows the [from:to] syntax and a count() or __len__() method. If that don't work you can of course overload the Paginator itself. I have done this [1] for CouchDB which has not yet any compatible wrapper and uses a completely different approach as it is an document-oriented database. My code is more a hack but it works well. I would recommend to use the first approach if possible. This is only my opinion and is of course not in any way official. //Thomas [1] http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1208/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
