Django Model Errors : TypeError: 'class Meta' got invalid attribute(s): using

[Subhodip Biswas]

Hi all,
I am newbie in django and while trying to write a database router for
using multiple database I did something like :

class Meta:
using = 'somedatabasename'

in Django models.py.

However while doing a syncdb I get an error like this :

TypeError: 'class Meta' got invalid attribute(s): using

what am I missing here??

any pointers or docs will be of great help.

The error is quite clear: there's no 'using' attribute in Meta. Where did you get the impression that there was? It's certainly not mentioned in the comprehensive documentation on multiple databases here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/db/multi-db/

As that doc shows, the decision of what db to use for a model or query is made by the router, not by the model.
