Using Django 1.4 is it possible to have 2 apps within the same project use two different databases?

Have a look at the django documentation on how to define multiple databases in your settings.
To use a different database for each app you can use one of to approaches:
You can manually select a database on each database call. This will probably not be possible if you used third party apps.
You can define a database router which is probably more suitable if you do not want to modify an app. There is an example in the documentation which explains how to route reads/writes to another database.
