Documentation for creating a new database backend?

[Alex Vidal]

We're using django-pyodbc http://code.google.com/p/django-pyodbc/ here at the office and ran into a few snags when testing Django 1.4. I forked the project onto github and made some changes to support 1.4 (https://github.com/avidal/django-pyodbc/compare/master...django-1.4), but I was thinking about making further, more significant changes to it. Is there documentation in regards to creating a new database backend, or do we just need to look at the existing ones and piece it together?

I don't think there is any documentation about this. So, you just need
to dig through the different backends and see what they do. Of course,
the test suite will point out most problems for you.
