Could use mysql with book type by simple way?

[grid qian]

Hi all, 

I am a new guy to book type.   When I try to use it, I found it only support postgre and sqlite, no any docs for how to use mysql.

I want to know could we use mysql database with book type?

And if yes,  it's easy to do? Or I need to do some customization for it?

Hi!

To be honest I did not try it with mysql. There are just couple of places where custom sql is used so that part might not work. Rest of the system should work if you just change database config to use mysql engine (put your own database name, username, ...):

Change settings.py in your Booktype project:

DATABASES = {'default': {'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',

                         'NAME': 'DATABASENAME',

                         'USER': 'USERNAME',

                         'PASSWORD': 'PASSWORD',

                         'HOST': 'localhost',

                         'PORT': ''

                        }

            }

Hi Aco,

Thank you very much for your reply.

You said you have not tried mysql with Booktype, that is to say, Booktype has not tests for mysql and just support mysql by common sense? So though we can use mysql, but postgre is better for production environment, right?

Thanks a lot!
