python - Django and read-only database connections

Assume a Django application which is supposed to use two MySQL databases:

  • default - for storing data represented by models A and B (read-write access)
  • support - for importing data represented by models C and D (read-only access)

The support database is a part of an external application and cannot be modified.

Since the Django application uses the built-in ORM for models A and B I figured it should use the very same ORM for models C and D, even though they map to tables in an external database (support.)

In order to achieve that I defined the models C and D as follows:

from django.db import models


class ExternalModel(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        managed = False
        abstract = True


class ModelC(ExternalModel):
    some_field = models.TextField(db_column='some_field')

    class Meta(ExternalModel.Meta):
        db_table = 'some_table_c'


class ModelD(ExternalModel):
    some_other_field = models.TextField(db_column='some_other_field')

    class Meta(ExternalModel.Meta):
        db_table = 'some_table_d'

Then I defined a database router:

from myapp.myapp.models import ExternalModel


class DatabaseRouter(object):
    def db_for_read(self, model, **hints):
        if issubclass(model, ExternalModel):
            return 'support'

        return 'default'

    def db_for_write(self, model, **hints):
        if issubclass(model, ExternalModel):
            return None

        return 'default'

    def allow_relation(self, obj1, obj2, **hints):
        return (isinstance(obj1, ExternalModel) == isinstance(obj2, ExternalModel))

    def allow_migrate(self, db, app_label, model_name=None, **hints):
        return (db == 'default')

And finally adjusted settings.py:

# (...)

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'read_default_file': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'resources', 'default.cnf'),
        },
    },
    'support': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'read_default_file': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'resources', 'support.cnf'),
        },
    },
}

DATABASE_ROUTERS = ['myapp.database_router.DatabaseRouter']

# (...)

The user specified in support.conf for the support database has been assigned read-only privileges.

But when I run python manage.py makemigrations it fails with the following output:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/username/Development/stuff/myapp/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 62, in execute

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise MigrationSchemaMissing("Unable to create the django_migrations table (%s)" % exc)
django.db.migrations.exceptions.MigrationSchemaMissing: Unable to create the django_migrations table ((1142, "CREATE command denied to user 'somedbuser'@'somehost' for table 'django_migrations'"))

It appears that Django tries to create the django_migrations table in the read-only database support nevertheless.

Is there any clean way to prevent the migrations mechanism from attempting that? Or do I have to employ another ORM library for this read-only access to the support database?

I encountered the same issue (using Django 1.11) and this question was at the top of my Google results for it.

Your initial solution is only missing one critical piece. You need to tell Django what database models 'C' and 'D' are using. What worked for me:

class ExternalModel(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        managed = False
        abstract = True    
        app_label = 'support'

Then tell your database router how to behave when it encounters that app_label in the allow_migrate() section:

    def allow_migrate(self, db, app_label, model_name=None, **hints):
        if app_label == 'support':
            return False
        return (db == 'default')

I'm not sure that is the most-correct-solution in the eyes of the Django team, but effect is allow_migrate() returning False for any models defined with that app_label attribute value.

The Django documentation on routers doesn't mention this explicitly (or, at least with model code samples that make it clear how the ORM passes the value for 'db' to allow_migrate()), but between the 'app_label' and 'managed' attributes you can get it to work*.

* In my case the default is postgres and the read-only database is Oracle 12 via cx_Oracle.
