If this question would be more appropriate for django-users, please let me know. I ask it here because I suspect that the answer to my question may require someone with a fairly deep understanding of the ORM internals.
I have a legacy oracle database that I would like to use with the Django ORM. Unfortunately, the security for this database is implemented using oracle users and roles, making it necessary for each user to have their connection to the database use their own credentials, which translates into a connection for each user. Although I can retrieve the credentials from the user and keep them in session, it is not apparent to me how to configure the ORM to appropriately use them. Unfortunately, changing the database security model is not an option. The research I have done seems to indicate that this mode of operation is not supported. Am I correct or am I missing something? If it is not officially supported, is there a way it could be made to work safely? We are already using a custom version of django 1.1.1, so I'm not opposed to making some additional custom changes, though I prefer to avoid them. Alex and Russell, would the work you have done in the multi-db branch have any bearing on this use case? -- Warren Smith --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
