Good afternoon,

I was recently shown that my client runs MS Access everywhere, rather
than a "real" database. There are many features they would be missing
that something like a django frontend would provide.

So I would like to move them to Postgres or MySQL (since MS Access
support was been dropped after 0.4).

But I would also like to move there schema &etc to ORM, for easy
editing with SQLalchemy (or similar).

What approach would you recommend?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor
