You can easy do this by appearing custom attribute to model: | |
class A(models.Model): | |
_DATABASE = "X" | |
class B(models.Model): | |
_DATABASE = "X" | |
... | |
Then you need to add router. Next one will select database by _DATABASE field, and models without _DATABASE attribute will select default database, also relationships will be allowed only for default database: | |
class CustomRouter(object): | |
def db_for_read(self, model, **hints): | |
database = getattr(model, "_DATABASE", None) | |
if database: | |
return database | |
else: | |
return "default" | |
def db_for_write(self, model, **hints): | |
database = getattr(model, "_DATABASE", None) | |
if database: | |
return database | |
else: | |
return "default" | |
def allow_relation(self, obj1, obj2, **hints): | |
""" | |
Relations between objects are allowed if both objects are | |
in the master/slave pool. | |
""" | |
db_list = ('default') | |
if obj1._state.db in db_list and obj2._state.db in db_list: | |
return True | |
return None | |
def allow_migrate(self, db, model): | |
""" | |
All non-auth models end up in this pool. | |
""" | |
return True | |
And the last step is specifing your router in settings.py: | |
DATABASE_ROUTERS = ['path.to.class.CustomRouter'] | |
