This monster of a patch is the result of Alex Gaynor's 2009 Google Summer of Code project.
Congratulations to Alex for a job well done.

Big thanks also go to:
 * Justin Bronn for keeping GIS in line with the changes,
 * Karen Tracey and Jani Tiainen for their help testing Oracle support
 * Brett Hoerner, Jon Loyens, and Craig Kimmerer for their feedback.
 * Malcolm Treddinick for his guidance during the GSoC submission process.
 * Simon Willison for driving the original design process

Database setup
--------------

variables representing Django settings. Change these settings to match your
database's connection parameters:
Now, edit :file:`settings.py`. It's a normal Python module with
module-level variables representing Django settings. Change the
following keys in the :setting:`DATABASES` ``'default'`` item to match
your databases connection settings.
* :setting:`DATABASE_ENGINE` -- Either 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql' or
'sqlite3'. Other backends are :setting:`also available <DATABASE_ENGINE>`.

``'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'``,
``'django.db.backends.mysql'`` or
``'django.db.backends.sqlite3'``. Other backends are
:setting:`also available <ENGINE>`.
* :setting:`DATABASE_NAME` -- The name of your database. If you're using
SQLite, the database will be a file on your computer; in that case,
``DATABASE_NAME`` should be the full absolute path, including filename, of
that file. If the file doesn't exist, it will automatically be created
when you synchronize the database for the first time (see below).

When specifying the path, always use forward slashes, even on Windows
(e.g. ``C:/homes/user/mysite/sqlite3.db``).

If you're new to databases, we recommend simply using SQLite (by setting
:setting:`DATABASE_ENGINE` to ``'sqlite3'``). SQLite is included as part of
Python 2.5 and later, so you won't need to install anything else.
