I need to write a small application and considering django but am
wondering how the model backend copes with the following scenario..

The admin user needs to be able to upload/download new dbs and switch
the current backend database file and run the app portably on
different machines. The concurrent number of users is very small (1-5
people) so was thinking of sqlite as a single file then contains the
whole db.

DB related requirements:

1. select the current working DB from any DB files in the app's DB
directory
2. upload/download any of those DBs (for backup/restore and swapping
DBs between offices)
3. Create a new empty DB file to start working from.

This doesn't seem to naturally fit django's idea of specifying the db
in the settings file but is there a way to do this that is not too
much of a nasty hack! I would like to do it in django because I know
the rest of the app would be quick to put together with django but am
a little concerned about how these requirements fit with the model
engine.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,
John
