connect database in django code example

Example 1: configure mysql database django

You need to make changes in project settings.py. 
Provide USER and PASSWORD for your database
If your database isn't mysql change ENGINE

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'myproject',
        'USER': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': 'rootpassword',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

Example 2: link django to mysql

$ brew reinstall openssl
	#run two commands under "For compilers to find [email protected] you may need to set:"
$ pip install mysqlclient

Example 3: use django with another database

DATABASES = {
    'default': {},
    'users': {
        'NAME': 'user_data',
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'USER': 'mysql_user',
        'PASSWORD': 'superS3cret'
    },
    'customers': {
        'NAME': 'customer_data',
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'USER': 'mysql_cust',
        'PASSWORD': 'veryPriv@ate'
    }
}
