Unfortunately, the answer is no to both.

The only officially supported databases are SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL and 
Oracle. There is support for a couple of other databases available as external 
libraries [1]. 

I'm not aware of any efforts to build a backend for SQLFire -- they might 
exist, but I haven't gone looking for them, and I haven't seen any 
announcements on Django-dev or Django-users.

There certainly aren't any efforts underway to add an official SQLFire driver 
as part of the core. Django's has a database interface specifically so that 
third parties can build drivers externally to the core. The core team would 
rather see this external ecosystem develop, rather than try and force all 
database development into the core.

Does python(django) have an official database driver to access SQLFire?

2012-01-29 Thread Jack
Hello,

I have a question on Python(django)

Does python(django) have an official database driver to access
SQLFire? Or is there any roadmap to deliver an official database
driver?
