- nostrademons 10y agoGetting a site from zero to 100K hits/day is also a fairly monumental task, and if you don't succeed at that, you don't have to move to a different database.
- TylerE 10y agoWith Django it really isn't, as all of the differences are (in theory at least...) abstracted away behind a common API.
- collyw 10y agoThats the theory but in practice its not always so good. I tried moving from from MySQL to Postgress. Somehow my unique constrains in Django weren't unique in the database so it threw errors when I tried dumping to Django fixtures.
- bpicolo 10y agoUntil you start usings database-specific types. JSONB, hstore, etc :) Django isn't really the limiting factor.
