That is correct.

You just have to remember declare managed = False ni API, and from my
experience (working with legacy Oracle DB for a good while), it's better to
pick only what you need.

One special note: Oracle DATE field stores both - date and time with resolution
of a second.

There is no equivalent field in Django. If you use date.DateTimeField you get
all kind of nasty exceptions when working with this kind of a legacy data
because DateTimeField expects to find TIMESTAMP type (date/time with resolution
of a fractions of a second)

We've worked around this by declaring our own custom field.
