I plan to, don't worry ;-)
But, I would like to do it from within the Django environment to make it
immune to changes of database...

Yeah, an unfortunate artifact of the legacy system I'm replacing.
Months are of the form "September 2009", "August 2009", etc.
How would you represent those in a Django ORM sensible way?

You guessed right about the database, but that's a luxury I don't have.
The database used may change, so I'd like to do this through the Django
ORM. Does the Django ORM have a sql abstraction layer like sqlalchemy
where I can do the kind of thing you're proposing, or do I need to work
with models?
cheers,
