It's in the title really. I want to run Django against MSSQL 2005. Both look reasonably active and up to date. I can't seem to see any unique points for either.
Thanks!
My choose is django-pyodbc because of cross-platform requirements. django-mssql runs only on Windows.
Django-pyodbc works with South.
Django-pyodbc has some bugs and pyodbc itself too. I've patched both (I found code somewhere). First problem was inserting keys which are identity (i.e. autoincremented) in DB when running 'manage.py ss_loaddata' command. ss_loaddata is a special command for this backend instead of 'loaddata'. Second problem... I don't remember this.
As I see, django-mssql have bugs too, but, I hope, less than pyodbc. I haven't try it yet.
May be, both are stable now :)
