All the database courses are taught here by Andrew Chalkley based on MySQL. But Im going to build a website on Django, and Postresql is the most recommended sql for Django. Do you think using MySQL will be fine for my website? Which one is smootly integrated with Django? I want to learn sql at treehouse, because I love the way of teaching here.

In most cases, you'll just try your SQL, hopefully in a development environment, and if it doesn't work in your chosen flavour of SQL, check the documentation, ask here about specific use case, or search on Stack Overflow or something.

16,774 PointsThanks for reply. U mean all SQL (in our case MySQL and Postgres) basic syntaxes and logic are the same? On Django all work with database is done thgrough ORM, not directly programming and interacting with SQL?

Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsYes, exactly! You can send regular SQL commands using the Django ORM, but it wouldn't be common.
