API for writing a new database backend

[Nuno]

Hi,

I'm starting to write a new database backend for a non-relational database, but I can't find any API specification that I should follow.

Such API or any related documentation exists?

Thank you,

Nuno

I haven't worked on DB backends, but I'm pretty sure you want to implement everything in db/backends/base

https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/db/backends/base

Also here is a page with some info and links to talks and concepts about writing a backend (slightly out of date, but should have most of the info you need)

If you are looking for a spec for writing an API, you could do worse than:

If you are looking for a Django tool for creating the API, then:
