It tries, but isn't heroic. The options for total portability would be either no regex support at all (since SQLite doesn't support it), or an adapting shim (as it currently does) or maybe even dropping SQLite as an option. I think the adaptation approach is a good option. >If that's the case then the code has to be changed when > moving to production (that is, likely to a different database > platform)? Not really-- you could build your regex based on the engine: from django.conf import settings if settings.DATABASE_ENGINE == 'sqlite': re = something else: re = something_else That may make you cringe, but it only makes explicit what is really going on when you push to prod w/ modified code anyway. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
