Ok, thanks for this clear answer. I've noted the "managed" option that might avoid errors on a sync but as django still thinks these tables are updateable it's not a real solution - and it's not wise to recommend django for the situations mentioned in my first post. So the django ORM is in the same situation as the Ruby-on-Rails ORM. But, as opposed to Ruby, a possible solution already exists in the form of SQLalchemy. This approach has already been followed: http://code.google.com/p/django-sqlalchemy/ Progress in this project seems a bit low, but maybe one day some enlighted ghosts will take up the torch ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
