Django的管理后台对多数据库没有明显的支持。如果要为路由指定的数据库以外的数据库提供模型的管理界面，你需要编写自定义的 ​ModelAdmin ​类，这个类将指示管理后台使用指定数据库的内容。

​ModelAdmin ​对象有五种需要为多数据库支持定制的方法：

class MultiDBModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): # A handy constant for the name of the alternate database. using = 'other' def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change): # Tell Django to save objects to the 'other' database. obj.save(using=self.using) def delete_model(self, request, obj): # Tell Django to delete objects from the 'other' database obj.delete(using=self.using) def get_queryset(self, request): # Tell Django to look for objects on the 'other' database. return super().get_queryset(request).using(self.using) def formfield_for_foreignkey(self, db_field, request, **kwargs): # Tell Django to populate ForeignKey widgets using a query # on the 'other' database. return super().formfield_for_foreignkey(db_field, request, using=self.using, **kwargs) def formfield_for_manytomany(self, db_field, request, **kwargs): # Tell Django to populate ManyToMany widgets using a query # on the 'other' database. return super().formfield_for_manytomany(db_field, request, using=self.using, **kwargs)

此处提供的实现方法实现了多数据库策略，其中给定类型的所有对象保存在指定数据库上（比如所有 ​User ​对象在 ​other ​数据库中）。如果对多数据的使用很复杂，那么​ModelAdmin​将需要映射策略。
​InlineModelAdmin ​对象可以以类似的方式处理。它们需要三个自定义的方法：

class MultiDBTabularInline(admin.TabularInline): using = 'other' def get_queryset(self, request): # Tell Django to look for inline objects on the 'other' database. return super().get_queryset(request).using(self.using) def formfield_for_foreignkey(self, db_field, request, **kwargs): # Tell Django to populate ForeignKey widgets using a query # on the 'other' database. return super().formfield_for_foreignkey(db_field, request, using=self.using, **kwargs) def formfield_for_manytomany(self, db_field, request, **kwargs): # Tell Django to populate ManyToMany widgets using a query # on the 'other' database. return super().formfield_for_manytomany(db_field, request, using=self.using, **kwargs)

一旦编写了模型管理定义，就可以在任何 ​Admin ​实例中注册：

from django.contrib import admin # Specialize the multi-db admin objects for use with specific models. class BookInline(MultiDBTabularInline): model = Book class PublisherAdmin(MultiDBModelAdmin): inlines = [BookInline] admin.site.register(Author, MultiDBModelAdmin) admin.site.register(Publisher, PublisherAdmin) othersite = admin.AdminSite('othersite') othersite.register(Publisher, MultiDBModelAdmin)

这个例子设置了两个管理长点。在第一个站点上，​Author ​和 ​Publisher ​对象是显式的；​Publisher ​对象有一个表格行来显示出版者的书籍。第二个站点只显示出版者，不显示内嵌。
