SQLA app and Django app using the same database

[Diego Woitasen]

Hi,

 I'm developing an application that access a DB that is defined and mainly manipulated by a Django application. My app works in the backend processing the data, using SQLA.

 My question is. Is there a problem in a scenario like this? I mean, two different applications with different ORMs using the same DB. At first, the only problem is that we'll need to keep the models in sync but I'm not sure if I'm missing anything.

 May be someone already faced a problem like this and could tell me his/her experience.

Regards,

  Diego

Generally no problem due to the different ORMs.  There is potential for concurrency issues just as if you had two apps with the same ORM accessing the same database.
