split databases

[rmnldwg]

If the users and patient data were stored in two different databases, I would not need to always recreate all the users when something is broken with the patient data.

Also, this would allow me to delete and recreate the patient database (e.g. on every push to the main branch) from the data in the lyDATA repository programmatically.

From Django's website:

Django doesn’t currently provide any support for foreign key or many-to-many relationships spanning multiple databases.

So, it seems this isn't possible or at least not supported.
