Although I've successfully used the multi-db branch experimentally, it looks to be getting more and more out of date with the django trunk. I do completely understand the desire of the django devs to ensure a solid commitment to a branch and also that there have not been enough requests to drive inclusion by default into the main development line. That said, let me throw my single vote for support of this feature. I'm a little surprised that more people apparently aren't using Django against legacy databases which in my mind usually presents a strong case for the need to be able to split data across different databases or least schemas in cases such as Postgres. Also, I've seen a number of other people mention in the archives that they employ separation strategies based on varying requirements for their applications.
Just for the sake of lively discussion, I would go so far as to say that only being able to access a single database per project is an unfortunate limitation and could be a deal-breaker for those evaluating Django for their own use. I'm sure there are many arguments for why the 'global' database settings reduce code complexity and provide optimizations. Being mostly ignorant about the inner workings of Django, it seems like it would be possible to allow at least per app specification overrides by simply dropping another settings file into an app. Of course, as they say, the beauty of open source / open community is that you can just go build it yourself. In a fantasy world I would be all about that but in reality I can't keep up with my own personal projects and I've "involved" myself in other projects when I really couldn't make the long term commitment. So here's to hoping that my pitiful plea plants the tiniest of seeds in the brilliant django dev minds and here's to hoping that more in the community share my viewpoint and make themselves heard. Thanks for listening. Cheers -Brian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
