I'd love to see native dj-database-url support in Django. I suppose it would have to support all the back-ends, no? It might lead to confusion otherwise.

I'd like to approach this as 'support database urls in django', rather than 'copy/paste dj-database-url into django'. For postgres (I'm not sure about other backends), a database url can be passed directly to psycopg2. The postgres connection string format actually supports more features than is possible with django's HOST/USER/PORT... style settings. For example, you can pass multiple hosts and psycopg2 will attempt to connect to one of them: https://paquier.xyz/postgresql-2/postgres-10-multi-host-connstr/. Any attempt to parse the url in django will result in a loss of those features. The only problem I see is that we have to parse the database backend out of the url, and you can't pass a url like 'postgis://....' to psyscopg2. I'd like to be able to do something like: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'DSN': 'postgres://....', 'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis', }, } And let psycopg2 handle the DSN. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
