hi @programmerq, we put this on our backlog, this may take some time, as this isn't our main focus atm.

Few months ago, I started evaluating the complexity of such a task. The work of @mfelsche on the https://github.com/mfelsche/crate-django package is a good start. The Crate JOINs support should be sufficient to develop a complete enough Django database backend.

I really want to spend a few days on it in the coming months.

Hi again,

apologies for the super late reply. Regarding Django support, @mfelsche contributed a patch over here, but it never materialized up until now.

• [DRAFT] First roughly working Django backend #430

Today, we received another request from the community about it. Thanks!

• Integration of Django and CrateDB

With kind regards,
Andreas.

I'm gonna try to do it on my free time, don't promise anything https://github.com/surister/cratedb-django/

Wow, thanks a stack. Is it possible to re-use code from GH-430?
Please let me know if you run into any obstacles, a few ingredients in sqlalchemy-cratedb may provide answers to a few of the usual suspects, that could be translated into Django ORM jargon.

Inspiration yeah, direct code I don't think so, it's been quite a while. I'm looking at the official postgres and unnoficial cockroachdDB drivers for reference
