Yes. I saw this link. My impression on first read is that it imports the database into Django's database. I am not looking for this. I am looking to just be able to read in the data from the external database and leave the maintenance of the database to the external application. Has anyone done gone done this path with Django. If not, then I am thinking of writing my own code to generate the report and just use Django for displaying the data. Thoughts?
