The first two, "association tables for many-to-many relations" and "dependent tables". Inheritance look-alikes also exist but none of them have composite primary keys. I'm quite a newby to both Python and Django and was not sure what a manipulator was but by checking the docs (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/) I think I got the general idea. Custom SQL + Manipulators does sound as the way to use my own model classes. It doesn't seem as the most straightforward way to use Django though, anyone out there actually working with Django this way? Michael, are you actually using Django (ORM included) with a "legacy" database, or are you evaluating what the best option might be? I was trying to stay away from ORMs, not only because I think I'll find some problems with it (given I have to use this particular schema) but also because a great deal of the website I'll build is about searching for data in the database and I don't think I'll take a lot of benefit from an ORM there.
