There is a lot of similarities between a ManyToMany and a list of foreign keys. The intersection of relational and non-relational, at least with Mongo, is pretty large. Of course with other non-relational DBs (admittedly a large variety of DBs) you milage will vary. Even if you look at the libraries like mongoengine, the documents and API are similar to the ORMs. Remember that mongo has foreignkeys in the form of objectids. > Chris > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to django-developers@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > django-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
