Foreign key issue

[Akshay Jain]

Hello,

In my Django application, I want to use a foreign key from one db to another. Is it possible? as I'm able to see the listing in /add endpoint but when I try to save It says that the table doesn't exist.

Thanks

If you think about it, you might see why you could do this, but you'd lose everything related to referential integrity.  Nothing stopping you from making a router that behind the scenes uses multiple dbs seamlessly, but how would you handle changes from the other db in your own if you can't get notified of updates or deletes?  THat way, your own data can get very out of sync with the other db.

Thanks Jason, fair point.
