CosmosDB_Mongo_Django_Workaround

Workaround for Django on Cosmos DB Mongo.

Good resources to get started if you are new: Setting up virtual environment on Windows: http://timmyreilly.azurewebsites.net/python-pip-virtualenv-installation-on-windows/ Setup Django sample - please follow this tutorial https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/intro/tutorial01/ To use Mongo you need 'Djongo'(It's not Django :)) https://nesdis.github.io/djongo/get-started/#

Assuming you have working environment let's say the environment is located at Folder Name "Sample"

1. Download the files(query.py,introspection.py and base.py) from this repo to your local folder.

2. Replace 2 files in ..\sample\Lib\site-packages\djongo\ with downloaded query.py and introspection.py

3. Replace the file in ..\sample\Lib\site-packages\djongo\sql2mongo\query.py with downloaded query.py

4. Make sure settings.py file pointing to Cosmos DB Mongo endpoint (Username and password available in Azure portal):

          DATABASES = {
             'default': {
                  'ENGINE': 'djongo',
                  'NAME': 'test',
              'USER': 'username',  
                  'PASSWORD': 'password',  
                  'HOST': 'username.documents.azure.com',  
                  'PORT':10255,
              'SSL':True,
              'OPTIONS':{
              'connectTimeoutMS':30000,
              }
              }
          }
   

Now run python manage.py migrate, it should migrate with out any issues.
