http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/db/multi-db/#cross-database-relations Generally speaking, cross-database foreign keys falls into the category of "if you need to ask, the answer is no". It should be possible, depending on your exact requirements and setup, but there are lots of little details that need to be sorted out and obstacles that may cause problems. These problems and their solutions aren't documented; if you *really* need cross database keys, you're going to need to spend some quality time with Django's source code.
