Non relational databases (MongoDB) with Django

[Deep Shah]

I want to use MongoDB with Django. Which are the advisable, latest and stable engines?
I found https://github.com/django-nonrel/mongodb-engine which requires the non relational version of Django (https://github.com/django-nonrel/django/). But they have not updated the code since Django 1.6.

Hi,

Well you can use non relational databases with django. This of course means that you don't have ORM for that, use them as is. Way simpler than trying to force ORM (which stands for object relational mapper) to follow something non relational.

Also, if you're not stuck at mongodb, you may find arangodb much more appealing and doing most things "right".

How easy is it to use MongoDb without a Django ORM once the code base increases?

[Avraham Serour]

Why do you need to use mongodb? Why not just use postgres and all the tooling the django ORM provides?

Hi,

Django ORM is designed for relational data, for database engines like Postgres, MySQL, Oracle etc. MongoDB is document oriented database. In theory partial support for relational data could be implemented to be able to use mongodb but it would be relative way. Which leads to question that other response asked, if you want ORM and relational data, why not to use real relational database which works perfectly with Django ORM from the beginning?

I was wondering if you end up using MongoDB with Django, did you use non relational version of Django? how was your experience?

Hello

If you are looking for a way to connect MongoDB to Django, You should take a look at djongo a driver for allowing Django to use MongoDB as the database backend. You dont need a non-rel version of Django to go with it either!!!
