Does this still support using?

[allidoisace]

If I have a block like so, is this still acceptable?

with in_database('external'): MyModel.objects.using('other_db').filter(field='value')

I know it's been a long time but in case someone needs it

use an alias

db_connection = {'NAME': 'name', 'USER': 'user', 'PASSWORD': 'password', 'HOST': '127.0.0.1', 'PORT': 5432, 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql'}

with in_database(db_connection) as data_base_config:
    new_db = data_base_config.database
    return MyModel.objects.using(new_db).filter(field='value')
