Re: Django ORM

Ok, well the things we're looking to add and/or improve are: Composed primary key (although we're worried of the difficulty of this one in particular . Other thing we notice is that Django emulate the DELETE ON CASCADE, making select and deletes instead of using the DB constraint and we would like to change this. And basically we would like to make this kind of changes, the idea our thesis is that web frameworks like Django give the possibilities to develop web apps easily, and databases (specially DBMS) are optimized for managing data. So our goal is to see the ORM of Django can take advantage of this features so queries can be even more efficient. 

Thank you very much,

Ale

Hi Russ, 

Thanks for the response, well we're thinking in modifying Django ORM to add some requeriments we consider important on databases. And specially if you already have the DB already build and want to import it to build the model part of the app. We're studying the code and we wonder if we can ask questions or received some kind of support when working with the ORM itself,

Feel free to ask; however, keep in mind that Django is a volunteer project, and while we'll try to answer questions, there's no guarantee that you'll always be able get an answer (or get an answer in a timely fashion).

If you do want to ask questions about adding new features to the ORM or database backends (rather than just general 'how does it work' questions), you'll be better served asking on the django-developers mailing list -- that's a list focussed on the development of Django itself.

I'm also intrigued as to the features that you think are important and are missing. Some features are missing due to a lack of interest from the community (or, at least, a lack of volunteers willing to build the feature); however, there are also some features that have been specifically rejected at a design level. Before you embark on a massive project, it would be worthwhile to validate that your high-level goals will be looked upon favourably by the core team.

Yours,
