Django: updating the DB asynchronously

I develop a django app where lots of DB updates could/should be deferred to later time.

What would be a good way to update the DB in a background batch job?

One way I could think of is to have a message queue that would contain raw SQL statements.

T开发者_如何学Gohe django app would fill the queue with raw SQLs when the update should be done asynchronously.

A simple background job, (in a different un-related process), would just deqeue and execute the SQL statements it in its own pace..

What do you think?

Celery is often used for this.

I've found this good review about the subject. It recommends Gearman

Seems a lighter solution than Celery.. I think I will give it a try
