Building one at the moment. Nothing to share though since there's
nothing specific about it. It just a web app.

Key is PYTHON. Django is very modular and loosely couple and you get
immediate access to the world of Python in your models and views and

If there's a Python module for ODBC, Access, etc. then YES it can be
used in Django.
