In your settings assigning the values in DATABASES variable.

    DATABASES = {
    # after your 'default' connection:
    'legacy_db': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
    'NAME': 'old_db',
    'USER': '',
    'PASSWORD': '',
    'HOST': '',
    'PORT': '',

  • Auto generate the django models using inspectdb

    $ python manage.py inspectdb > /your_app/models.py

    It will generate models your existing Table.

note: If you use the MyISAM storage engine please be aware of foreign-key constraints. django detects fk fields on InnoDB engine only.

get your objects selecting-a-database

>>> # This will run on the 'legacy_db' database.
>>> Foo.objects.using('legacy_db').all()
