11169	"django.db.models.sql.where is using the global ""connection"" rather than the query object's ""connection"""	crcradock	nobody	"I have need to use both MySQL database and an MS SQL server (via ODBC). I noticed some rather strange quirks which lead me to work out that django.db.models.sql.where is referring to the global ""connection"" rather than the query's connection. Primarily queries to the other database type appear to fail with incorrect ""where"" clauses.

Viz: assume MySQL is the default database as quoted in the project's settings.py file

>>> import MSSQL.model
>>> MSSQL.model.RandomTable.get(field__startswith='ticket')

Does anyone know how to find the correct connection in the ""as_sql"" subroutine in django.db.models.sql.where, or do we need to call django.db.models.sql.where.as_sql with the appropriate ""connection"" as a parameter?

Just incase it has a bearing on the matter I'm using a DB-Manager for the tables of the form:

class ODBCManager(models.Manager):
    use_for_related_fields = True
    cached_connection = False
    query = False

    def get_query_set(self):
        if( not self.cached_connection ):
          h_connection=py_odbc.base.DatabaseWrapper( dict(
                DATABASE_ODBC_DSN=settings.DATABASE_ODBC_DSN
               ,DATABASE_NAME=settings.DATABASE_ODBC_DATABASE
               ,DATABASE_OPTIONS=dict()
          ) )
          h_query = h_connection.ops.query_class(sql.query.BaseQuery)
          self.query = h_query(self.model, h_connection )
          self.cached_connection = True
        return QuerySet(self.model,self.query)
