Should i use postgres or mysql ?

[Joshua Kayode]

Use postgresql,  but you can find reasons not to!,  the choice between MySQL and postgresql is more or less personal! Both have their strengths and weakness!

Use whichever one you are more familiar with, unless there is a technical reason for your specific project to pick one over the other. Familiarity is important if you are just learning django, as you don't need too many learning curves at the same time. Sometimes, it is helpful to look at the tables that django creates to debug a problem. Knowing how to quickly access the db can be important. Or, sometimes injecting data into the db can help with debugging. At the end of the day, they are just tools, so use the one that you like the most. Personally, I prefer a left handed spanner the most....

I've used both. If you have a choice use Postgres.

Django has support for Postgres-only features - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/postgres/ - if you need any of them.
Also full text search is much easier to implement with Postgres in Django - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/postgres/search/

Also I am not sure if you get transactions on MySQL without additional configuration. Worth making sure that you have transactions so you dont have to unpick faulty migrations manually.

In general it seems like Postgres is favoured in the ecosystem around Django, but worth checking what you have available on the server and taking decision based on it. Nothong really stops you from using either.
