Hi Ed, There are a few people looking at multi-db at the moment. I've had to put my own contributions on hold because I've had rather a hectic personal life lately, but hopefully I'll be able to crack on with it next week or so. There has also been some discussion about rethinking some of the

2007-01-24 Thread JP
Hi all, I'm afraid that I am not going to have time in the future to continue maintaining and merging up the multi-db branch. It's diverged so far from trunk that any trunk change that touches management.py or models results in hours of hand-merging and svn detective work... hours that I just

A wrinkle occurred to me last night that I really should have thought of earlier, and that calls into question my whole connection-handling setup. When served as a WSGI app in a container like Paste, settings can be different on every request. That means, first off, that however we decide to

Another use case to mull around: I'm currently using django for basically everything *but* it's ORM, in large part due to not supporting multiple databases. We have one software package with many nearly-identical databases (for different customers). The models would be the same, but I'd want to

I agree with most of your points (the settings one is actually kind of obvious that it may be backwards now that you mention it). Inter-database relations would be nice to have at some point, but it could be a post-first-release kind of feature. On Mon, 2006-07-10 at 21:38 -0500, Jacob
