It may well be a real showstopper - for you. Is it a showstopper for everyone? Not even close. To date, I have never had a need for multi-db support. There are a large number of Django sites out there that are successfully deployed without support for multi-db. If multi-db were to magically materialize in the Django source tree, would it be a valuable addition? Yes, certainly. Hence, the "Someday/Maybe" tag. The "Someday/Maybe" tag is an indication that we (that is, the core developers) are not opposed to introducing this feature, but it's not on our immediate to-do list. At the moment, the big issues consuming our time are things like: * Completing the transition to newforms, thereby resolving the issues with edit_inline and core=True * Refactoring the query engine to resolve the myriad known issues with order_by, select_related, and table joins Whereas multi-db is of interest to _some_ users, edit_inline and join issues affect virtually _all_ users. Developer time is limited, so we have to prioritize, and the issues that will be addressed first are those that: 1) affect the most people. 2) affect the core developers personally. Using this scheme, multi-db falls quite some way down the to-do list. > Perhaps I'll put some work into this when I have some time and get it > caught up with the latest trunk. If multi-db support is important to you, then this is the most helpful thing you can do.
