Database Configuration

Now Create a Postgress Db And link with the Django ORM

By default, Django is configured to use SQLite as its backend.

To use Postgres instead, “settings.py” needs to be updated:

---

DATABASES = {

'default': {

    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',

    'NAME': ‘<db_name>’,

    'USER': '<db_username>',

    'PASSWORD': '<password>',

    'HOST': '<db_hostname_or_ip>',

    'PORT': '<db_port>',

}

}

---

Now build the default schema.Django was designed with user access in mind, so by default a Django application will create a database schema involving users, groups, and permissions. To create the schema, generate a migration and run it:

python manage.py makemigrations

python manage.py migrate

After creating the default schema, create the default superuser:

python manage.py createsuperuser

process look like this;

Email address: [email protected]

Password: 

Password (again): 

Superuser created successfully.
