For *your* case. But remember that Django is expected to be generic and broadly usable, which means that actually the decorators would have to support, say, people who are sharding and want to have this view write to that shard, and that view read from another, etc., etc., which means that your decorator scheme basically comes down, in the end, to hard-coding database or cluster or shard names alongside each view. And again, I'd argue that this isn't something the application layer needs to know or should have to know. > And, completely unrelated to above, some companies made *business* decision > to use MySQL Replication widely.

You mean no projects using MySQL Replication, which is very, very, VERY far from "no big projects" -- there are plenty of big projects using Django, they're just using smarter DB setups. Personally, I think MySQL's standard attitude of "well, just completely rewrite your application when you need more than one database" is the thing that's not suitable for big projects (where you need to be thinking about, and planning for, configurable scaling across multiple machines from the very start, not pausing and rewriting when it's necessary); anybody who paid a consultant to get that recommendation should ask for their money back. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
