What do I do if my Django is 2.0.1 version but the "real" database like SQLite does not support Django higher than 1.8.?

- Update your database
- Or use django 1.8 instead

8,513 PointsThanks. But mySQL is considered to be for learners. Did you try it for real life applications with thousands or millions of users?

8,513 PointsHenrik, thanks for your swift reply, however your reply breeds even more questions:
How can I update SQLite to support versions higher than Django 1.8? Does such a version already exist? If yes, maybe you know a link? Because I have not found it...
How do I install Django 1.8 if I already have Django 2.0 installed? Shall I uninstall the higher version first, or can I have both? If I can have both how do I know which one I'm running? Or, maybe there's some comand to indicate which one you're launching? Thanks in advance!

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsTo install django 1.8 (or any other specific version) you just type:
pip install django==1.8I would recommend to do this in a virtual environment (if not doing it already)
About the SQLite I have no idea - I have never downloaded SQLite because django automaticly create a SQLite database for you when you run python manage.py migrate
