disqus-postgres

An enhanced psycopg2 backend for Django. This is more or less a collection of hacks.

It provides the following additional features:

• Automatic reconnection when a connection is dropped under various conditions.
• Improved tracebacks for transactional errors (e.g. TransactionAborted)
• Delays SET TIME ZONE until your first query.
• Adds a true @autocommit decorator which forces isolation level changes.

Note

This backend was developed against Django 1.2.7, and some of these changes may no longer be relevant in later versions of Django.

Usage

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'NAME': 'disqus',
        'BACKEND': 'dsq_postgres.backend',
    },
}
