Sorry to have missed meeting you at DjangoCon, Meet, but I'll add my
findings here to the record.
By way of background, I work at The Wharton School, where we're a
Python/Django (on RHEL) and SQL Server shop. I was responsible for
implementing a working configuration for Django, starting with

Thanks Tim, this is a promising update. While my department is slowly
migrating to PostgreSQL, most of the other departments are still very much
reliant on SQL Server. Since we're a Python/Django shop for our web stack,
better support would be very welcome. Most of our developers are on Macs,
Since Django 1.9 will support Python 3.5, I was wondering if there are any
plans to support Python 3.5 in Django 1.8, since it is an LTR.
I did a cursory search and didn't find anything stating yay or nay. I'm
going to assume 1.8 only support 3.4 for now, as I've had issues with
Python 3.5
Since we're on the topic, it'd be great if `inspectdb` also accepted a

I've recently been introduced to `django-environ`, a similar library that
has additional features to DB connect URLs that we may want to consider:

I would love to see partial indexes supported. Great work! As far as
databases with Django support:
- PostgreSQL supports partial indexes
- SQLite supports partial indexes
- SQL Server supports them, called "filtered indexes"
- Oracle: Sort of supports
them:
If we need some dogfooding with real-world candidates, I'd be happy to
provide some. We have a project which currently takes ~20 minutes to start
up (automated data models created by introspecting a database) that might
be a good edge-case candidate.

Hi Sean, just an update from what I know.
We are still waiting for a reply from Microsoft. They're a large company,
so understandably, it takes a little while.
For now, if people need to get onto Django 2.2 for long term support (which
will last until April, 2022), you can use this package:
I don't think GitHub stars are a fair assessment; the backend that was most
widely used for years has over 300:

But that doesn't really tell much of the story, because the Django backends
for SQL Server have been so fragmented over the years.
I'm tentatively +1 on this change... but...
While it may be a straightforward operation to do a case sensitive search
and replace in most code bases, it is not trivial to do so on the rest of
the web. If we're going to do this, we must realize that this will

The advice here is solid, but to answer the initial query... i created a
one liner to kill any runservers from my current user, as they can get lost

I've seen recommendations to use this during conference talks by people

at improving it during DjangoCon 2019. Consensus was that:

I've issued a PR that makes two changes to the `startproject` template:

as `settings.py`, `wsgi.py`, and the

in `my_project/config`
