I agree, with no support for Django Models and relational databases like mysql and postgressSQl, Google Apps Engine usefulness appears to be limited to more Content Management kind of web application. It pretty much excludes data driven and data intensive applications where data consistency and reliability is very critical (ACID properties).
Unless I am missing something and Google Data store is intended to be full Object Oriented DB equivalent of Relational DBMS's. Still it is an exciting development and another great option to Amazon s3/ec3 services. thanks Ashish Gupta On Apr 8, 4:31 am, "Marty Alchin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 2:28 AM, Ramin Firoozye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Caveat: there's a waiting list for signing up. > > Another caveat, according to that same page you linked: > > "Since App Engine does not support Django models, leave all DATABASE_* > settings set to an empty string.
