Since no-one has suggested avoiding MySQL I should say that I have a few small websites and every time I check the logs they are full of uglies trying to access phpmyadmin. Every time I see that I'm glad I went for PostgreSQL.

From my research it seems Postgres is probably the best option for Django if you want stability with scalability and atomicity.

YMMV

Hi Daniel,

Well, in simple terms, all you need to do is change the DATABASE setting in your settings (here https://www.coderedcorp.com/blog/django-settings-for-multiple-environments/ is an example of way to keep two different configurations, so you can have a production setting pointing to MySQL while keeping your dev setting using SQLite). You may need to create the user and a database for it, but that's more of a MySQL-specific question than Django.

If you want to migrate your data from SQLite to MySQL, you can use `dumpdata` to "export" the data from your dev enviroment and `loaddata` to load it back to the production data. Both are part of the default manage.py: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/django-admin/#dumpdata

     Hello. I am new to Django and I am trying to use it for my
    bachelor thesis. Thing is, I want to use MySQL insted of SQLite.
    How do I exactly do it.. I can't find a step-by-step tutorial on
    the internet.
    Also, I want to deploy project later on Heroku. Can I work on
    SQLite on local machine and then is possible to change to MySQL on
    Heroku ? In any case, I want to know how to do both, if possible.
    Thank you.
