Re: Trying to find something in multiple databases... Confused...

Right -- different tables in the same database, of course...  Thanks.

Ok, I'm a total django noob here, so I am probably doing this wrong...  But here goes...

When someone comes to my django app's root (index), I need to verify their user-name (which is stored in a Linux environment variable).  Based on where (or if) I find their user-name, I want to send them to one of three different pages -- if I don't find them in any database, I want to add them to a given database, then send them to a page.

So here's what I have in my views.py file:
def index(request)
     current_username = os.environ['REMOTE_USER']

So Melvyn has answered your question, but a quick note on terminology: what you've got there are separate *database tables*, or separate *Django models* -- not separate databases. Multiple databases is a whole different question, which you really don't want to get into as a newbie (or, indeed, at all if possible).
