How to install

pipx

pipx install cratedb-django

Install

Once the library is installed, use it in your settings.py, e.g.

DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "cratedb_django",
        "SERVERS": ["localhost:4200"],
    }
}

After that, for a model to be used in CrateDB, you need to use CrateModel as a base class.

from django.db import models
from cratedb_django.models import CrateModel


class Metrics(CrateModel):
    id = models.TextField(primary_key=True, db_default=UUID())
    value = models.IntegerField()

Django migrations can be run in CrateDB, default django migrations are tested. In spite of that, we recommend that you run anything transactional in a transactional database, like PostgresSQL and use CrateDB as your analytical database.
