Thats fine. However, as fair warning - this is the first time that Sybase support has been requested (compared to the regular requests for MS SQL Server support), so I wouldn't expect to see Sybase support any time soon. > And that is becuase I am not proficient in Python.

Am I correct in this assumption? Essentially, yes, although your terminology is very C++/Java, rather than Python. Each database backend is a module; the correct module is dynamically loaded based upon the settings file for a particular project. The module exposes a number of methods that are used to construct queries, etc. For the most part, the backend module exploits the interface specified by py-dbapi. If Sybase provides a good py-dbapi interface, you're most of the way to providing Django support. Django requires a few extra pieces, mostly to accomodate the eccentricities in SQL formats and datatypes. However, these extra bits are generally pretty simple. Admittedly, none of this helps you much if you're new to Python. However, for the record, if you want a look at what a database backend looks like, the code is in django.db.backends.* > It may seem incorrect for you to talk on this without looking into > code. Well, I'm one of the Django core developers, and I've made plenty of changes to the database backends over the years - so I'm fairly well qualified to speak on the topic.
