How to work around lack of support for foreign keys across databases in Django

Question

I know Django does not support foreign keys across multiple databases (originally Django 1.3 docs)

But I\'m looking for a workaround.

What doesn\'t work

Answer 1

As to the ForeignKeyAcrossDb part, couldn't you possibly make some adjustments to your class inside __init__? Check if the appropriate field is Integer if not, load it from the database, or do anything else that is required. Python __class__es can be changed at runtime without much problem.
