Well, there was the django-nonrel project, for trying to wrap non-relational stores [such as Mongo] in a faux relational layer, so they could then be wrapped in the ORM.
Always felt like a tremendous waste of resources to me -- why use a non-relational store just to pretend it _is_ one? My view is "horses for courses". If you need the strengths of a relational store, use one. If you need the benefits of any of the non-relational models [and there are many - models, and strengths] use them. But trying to shoe-horn a single API onto all models won't work. However, if you'd rather build an Object Document Mapper [ODM] to provide a consistent API for document databases, that could have some value. -- Curtis <rant> I wish people would stop abusing the term "NoSQL". Your target concept is Non-Relational data stores, not SQL itself. There's a whole bunch of relational stores that don't use SQL, one of them is even called NoSQL!) </rant> On 6 September 2013 06:12, Benjamin Zuill-Smith <bzuillsm...@gmail.com>wrote: > I've recently discovered Django and would love this framework in tandem > with a NoSql solution like MongoDB.
