This isn't entirely correct. Django's ORM is in no way tied to relational databases. Look at the public API for the ORM - the interface that is provided is object based, not relational. You don't call "SELECT * FROM table", you call Model.objects.all() Django's ORM doesn't currently have any non-relational implementations, so in practice, for newcomers (such as the original poster), this means that it isn't currently trivial to use a non-relational store with Django's ORM. The key word in that sentence is _currently_. The ORM has been specifically designed to accommodate non-relational data stores. There have been several recent discussions on adding a Google AppEngine or Amazon SimpleDB 'database backend'. CouchDB could also fall under this umbrella. Building these backends won't be trivial, and may require some minor modifications to the existing Django code, but they are certainly possible in the gross framework that has been provided. If you want to help out Django and you have interest and expertise in a particular non-relational datastore, this would be a great way to get involved.
