First, edit ``myproject/settings/main.py``. It's a normal Python module with
module-level variables representing Django settings. Edit the file and change
these settings to match your database's connection parameters:
* ``DATABASE_ENGINE`` -- Either 'postgresql', 'mysql' or 'sqlite3'.

* ``DATABASE_NAME`` -- The name of your database, or the full path to
the database file if using sqlite.
* ``DATABASE_USER`` -- Your database username (not used for sqlite).
* ``DATABASE_PASSWORD`` -- Your database password (not used for sqlite).

Also, note that MySQL support is a recent development, and Django hasn't been
comprehensively tested with that database. If you find any bugs in Django's
MySQL bindings, please file them in `Django's ticket system`_ so we can fix them
immediately.

can override this behavior.)
* Primary keys (IDs) are added automatically. (You can override this, too.)
