Found it. http://softwaremaniacs.org/soft/mysql_cluster/en/ (found through Simon Willison's blog). It looks like my memory was wrong though, because it doesn't switch databases automatically depending on query type. It leaves it up to the view to decide which database to use. If you absolutely

One of the blogs I follow posted up an example of an ORM tweak built for master/slave mysql setups. I'm having trouble finding it, but it's definitely possible to modify the ORM to make decisions about which database to use automatically so that you don't have to worry about it in your views or

It sounds like you would either have to go with the custom driver idea or use another ORM package like Sqlalchemy(which means you don't get certain features like the contrib apps) On Apr 16, 1:04 pm, "Chris Czub" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Would it be possible to replace the Django database

You could probably do it by having mutliple sites and thus multiple settings.py files and somehow integrating them all together yourself but that seems like a tangled up mess On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 8:19 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > This is my first
