Django can't currently switch between databases - there is a Summer of Code project this year to make it possible - but I wonder if you really need it. I suspect you are confused about what a database consists of. A database is a collection of tables, and individual databases are usually quite separate from one another. While I don't know the details of your setup, it seems unlikely that you would have multiple databases for different product lines - in fact I wouldn't even have separate sets of tables, the best way would be to have one table containing the product line codes and one with the individual products, with a foreign key to the product lines table. Can you give more details of your setup - is this a legacy database? -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
