Configuration
=============

The database transport uses the Django `DATABASE_*` settings for database
configuration values.

#. Set your broker transport::

    BROKER_URL = 'django://'

#. Add :mod:`kombu.transport.django` to `INSTALLED_APPS`::

    INSTALLED_APPS = ('kombu.transport.django', )

#. Sync your database schema:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ python manage.py syncdb

.. _broker-django-limitations:

Limitations
===========

The Django database transport does not currently support:

    * Remote control commands (:program:`celery events` command, broadcast)
    * Events, including the Django Admin monitor.
    * Using more than a few workers (can lead to messages being executed
      multiple times).
