Introduction to Django and Getting Started

Using a 3rd-Party database backend


In addition to the officially supported databases, there are backends provided by 3rd parties that allow you to use other databases with Django:

  • SAP SQL Anywhere

  • IBM DB2

  • Microsoft SQL Server

  • Firebird

  • ODBC

  • ADSDB

The Django versions and ORM features supported by these unofficial backends vary considerably. Queries regarding the specific capabilities of these unofficial backends, along with any support queries, should be directed to the support channels provided by each 3rd party project.
