The first condition is not to use foreign key constraints in the first table with foreign key on database level. This is apparent for MySQL MyISAM engine. If you use any other engine or any other DB backend, Django will implicitly try to create foreign key constraint. In that case, it is better to create the table manually with the foreign key column of simple integer type without any constraints. The other table, living in another database, must be defined as regular django model, which inherits from your custom overriden "django.db.models.Model" class. The overriden class must be using a custom "Manager", which i simply overriden "django.db.models.Manager" class. If you want to perform SELECT or UPDATE commands on another database tables, you have to override the "get_query_set" method in your custom manager. If you also want do perform INSERT commands, you have to override the "_insert" method too.
