(In [10026]) Fixed #10459 -- Refactored the internals of database connection objects so that connections know their own settings and pass around settings as dictionaries instead of passing around the Django settings module itself. This will make it easier for multiple database support. Thanks to Alex Gaynor for the initial patch.

This is backwards-compatible but will likely break third-party database backends. Specific API changes are:

  • BaseDatabaseWrapper.init() now takes a settings_dict instead of a settings module. It's called settings_dict to disambiguate, and for easy grepability. This should be a dictionary containing DATABASE_NAME, etc.
  • BaseDatabaseWrapper has a settings_dict attribute instead of an options attribute. BaseDatabaseWrapper.options is now BaseDatabaseWrapperDATABASE_OPTIONS
  • BaseDatabaseWrapper._cursor() no longer takes a settings argument.
  • BaseDatabaseClient.init() now takes a connection argument (a DatabaseWrapper instance) instead of no arguments.
Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
