For more details, see the reference documentation for :setting:`DATABASES`.

.. admonition:: For non-SQLite users



    If you're using PostgreSQL or MySQL, make sure you've created a database by

    this point. Do that with "``CREATE DATABASE database_name;``" within your

    database's interactive prompt.

    If you're using a database besides SQLite, make sure you've created a

    database by this point. Do that with "``CREATE DATABASE database_name;``"

    within your database's interactive prompt.



    Also make sure that the database user provided in :file:`mysite/settings.py`

    has "create database" privileges. This allows automatic creation of a

    :ref:`test database <the-test-database>` which will be needed in a later

    tutorial.



    If you're using SQLite, you don't need to create anything beforehand - the

    database file will be created automatically when it is needed.
