30.3.2 PostgreSQL
It is a bad idea to use a different database in production than the database used in development. When starting a project, you will want to switch immediately to the database you will be using in production, and to that end, I strongly recommend using PostgreSQL for your relational database (to say nothing of your nonrelational database requirements).
There are many guides to getting started with a PostgreSQL database with Django (including one at https://django-unleashed.com under the Extras section), and so we will not demonstrate the setup here.
