This repository explores Django models and their integration with PostgreSQL. You'll learn how to set up Django to work with a PostgreSQL database step by step.
To integrate with PostgreSQL, follow these steps:
You need to install the PostgreSQL engine using the psycopg2
package. Run this command:
pip install psycopg2
This command installs the PostgreSQL engine, which enables PostgreSQL connections and data manipulation through Django's Object-Relational Mapping (ORM).
- Configure settings.py Next, you need to configure your Django project's settings.py to work with PostgreSQL. Open your settings.py file and modify the DATABASES setting as follows:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'test', # Your database name
'USER': 'postgres', # Your database username
'PASSWORD': '', # Your database password (leave empty if not needed)
'HOST': 'localhost', # Hostname (use 'localhost' for local development or specify the instance IP for remote)
'PORT': '', # PostgreSQL default port is 5432 (leave blank for default)
}
}
Make sure to replace 'test', 'postgres', and '' with your actual database name, username, and password.
That's it! You've successfully configured your Django project to work with PostgreSQL.
Explain how to use the repository or provide examples of how Django models are used with PostgreSQL in your project.
