Using Sql Server with Django in production
Haven't used it in production yet, but my initial experiences with django-mssql have been pretty solid. All you need are the Python Win32 extensions and to get the sqlserver_ado module onto your Python path. From there, you just use sql_server.pyodbc as your DATABASE_ENGINE. So far I haven't noticed anything missing, but I haven't fully banged on it yet either.
Has anybody got recent experience with deploying a Django application with an SQL Server database back end? Our workplace is heavily invested in SQL Server and will not support Django if there isn't a sufficiently developed back end for it.
I'm aware of mssql.django-pyodbc and django-mssql as unofficially supported back ends. Both projects seem to have only one person contributing which is a bit of a worry though the contributions seem to be somewhat regular.
Are there any other back ends for SQL Server that are well supported? Are the two I mentioned here 'good enough' for production? What are your experiences?
