In addition to what Nikola said, keep in mind that you don't need a full-featured database to start developing with Django (since it will, by default, use sqlite), and if you're setting up a production environment, you might also take a look at postgre, which I've had good experience with, and will be no different than mysql if you stick to using the ORM. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
