If you are using Python 2.5 or higher, you can just use SQLite and do not have to install a separate database engine. Perhaps that is what you did last time? If you do decide to use something else, MySQL will work fine. Details on the databases supported can be found here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#database-installation Karen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
