It is possible. The two major projects that I know of are django-pyodbc<http://code.google.com/p/django-pyodbc/>which I have used quite a bit and django-mssql <http://code.google.com/p/django-mssql/> which I have not used.
Django-mssql only works on Windows and I have no experience with it. As far as I know, it uses the Microsoft drivers underneath so it probably works fairly well. Django-pyodbc works on Linux or Windows but if you were building for Windows, you would probably just use django-mssql. On Linux, you will need either unixODBC or iODBC as well as FreeTDS. On Ubuntu or CentOS, these are available from the package manager. Getting everything working is not entirely trivial due to different authentication schemes with SQL Server and some other intricacies. The code is not as seamless as the Django supported backends and deciding to use django-pyodbc will probably mean you'll have to learn the code line and submit a few patches. I use it primarily to connect to a read-only legacy database and for that purpose it works well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
