[omaha] Django question

[Shawn Hermans]

I can't think of any other easy solutions to the problem.  I looked at the
libanki code and it looks like the database code is spread throughout the
library.  I also uses raw SQL rather than something like SQLAlchemy or the
Django ORM. This means it is not trivial to simply use a different database
in place of SQLite.  So, I can't really think of an easy solution to the
problem.

Now I can think of a not easy solution. You could fork the libanki code
base and port it over to use SQLAlchemy or Django's ORM.  I pulled out the
tables from the source code and it doesn't look too bad.  It looks like you
have 5 tables/models.  Something to think about at least.

Cheers,
Shawn
