I'm not aware of any, but it should be the same as with any Python program/framework -- just use the relevant Python driver. Note, both the Auth system and the Scheduler depend on the DAL, so if you want to use either of those, you will need to set up a database supported by the DAL to store the relevant data. You will also need a DAL-supported database if you want to store sessions in the db (though file-based sessions are the default, and there is also a cookie-based session option). Also, note that SQLFORM and the grid also depend on the DAL, so you won't be able to use those with the above databases. Actually, if you want to use SQLFORM.factory to generate and process forms, you can still do so by creating dummy DAL models (i.e., models not linked to a database) -- you would just have to handle the database operations yourself. > I u'stand that DAL does not support these databases, but is it possible to > completely ignore the DAL part of web2py and use the rest to develop my web > application. > Yes, you can still use most of the web2py functionality without the DAL (except as noted above).
