You will find much in the tutorial about Django's DB-API, which translates DB queries into python syntax. You can certainly get started without brushing up your SQL, and much more easily if you have some acquaintance with the basic concepts of SQL from before. In django-land, SQL isn't needed until your needs get more complicated than the DB-API can reasonably handle. > Thanks.
