Django, multiple databases with raw sql. How to choose db?

Question

I have a Django project that utilizes multiple databases. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/multi-db/

I perform a lot of raw queries like this:

Answer 1

try this may be it should works.

from django.db import connections
cursor = connections[’my_db_name’].cursor()
# Your code here...
transaction.commit_unless_managed(using=’my_db_name’)

Answer 2

Refer django docs on executing custom query directly. Specify database in your connection as given below:

from django.db import connections
cursor = connections['db_alias'].cursor()
cursor.execute("select * from my_table")

And then commit using

from django.db import transaction
transaction.commit_unless_managed(using='db_alias')
