How can I do this in Django

Answer 1

First use standard rdbms database backend. Next try to add django-nonrel/django_mongodb_engine . Django supports multiple databases.

settings.py
DATABASES = {
   'default': {   
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
    'USER': 'mysql_user',
    'PASSWORD': 'priv4te'
    },

   'product_db' : {
      'ENGINE' : 'django_mongodb_engine',
      'NAME' : 'my_database'
   }
}
