Django ForeignKey which does not require referential integrity?

[diabeteman]

Hello everyone,

I recently posted a question on stackoverflow.com but didn't get any answers. I've found similar questions but without any satisfying solutions.

Here is my question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10623854/django-soft-foreignfield-without-database-integrity-checks

Here is a related question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3558907/django-foreignkey-which-does-not-require-referential-integrity

Could you give me some orientation on how to create a custom ForeignKey field that does not create database constraints with syncdb and south migrations?

Thanks in advance for the help :)

Bump ;-)

I know my question is a bit technical but could someone help ?

For the record, I've looked deep into django's code to find what needs to be done, but I think that simply subclassing ForeignKey will not be enough.

NB: I use South for managing my database schema, so I figure I'll need to do something about that too. But it may be out of the subject here :)
