Description

I need to connect to oracle db, but I don't have SID of db, I know only SERVICE_NAME - that is used all the time in other tools.
To connect to db I need a dsn like this one:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host-name.com)(PORT=1523))\

(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=some-service-name.com)))

but django generate the following:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host-name.com)(PORT=1523)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=some-service-name.com)))

the possible fix is described here:
