The current consensus is that this shouldn't be Django's domain --
at least, not in the first instance. It might be appropriate to
expose an API to extract the current model state in a Pythonic form,
but a fully-fledged, user accessible "tool".



I would, however, definitely recommend not touching the Oracle or MSSQL
backends - three is already a lot of work, and they're harder databases
to get a hold of for testing.

Here I would like to rise my concern - specially being long time Django and Oracle user.. =)

First at all everyone can get hands on Oracle Express database, free of charge standard Django stuff works in it very well. Geodjango doesn't work with it. AFAIK MSSQL is something that is not officially supported by Django so that shouldn't be much a problem if it's not touched.

Secondly Django has been in the past very consistent in support of four databases: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle. All supported pretty well as well as possible. I'm aware that doing migrations for all databases is a time taking challenge to tackle around all peculiarities in different backends. So hopefully that consistency is kept even with new features like this.

And yes, second thing is of course Geodjango part which takes complexity to whole new level.
