How to connect django with mongodb compass?

I installed djongo through pip. My django version is 3 although I checked version 2 also to make it work. Python version is 3. I also made change in settings.py but whenever I load the command with makemigrations, it gives me following error.
Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of:
'mysql','oracle','postgresql','sqlite3'
I don't know what to do with this now?
settings.py
DATABASES = {
default: {
'ENGINE': 'djongo',
'NAME' : 'django_db'
}
}

there's this awesome package that allows you to connect Django with MongoDB it's called mongoengine

here's also a link for their documentation

Creating SuperUser on a custom database (not default)

I am currently working on a multi-tenant django application. Since the requirement of multi-tenancy, for starters, I have created a second database. However, I am unable to create a SuperUser in the newly created database.
I did try the answer listed Django fails to create superuser in other db than 'default'
However, no luck.
Getting the following output on compile:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly co
nfigured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more
details.
Settings.py
DATABASES = {
'default': {},
'Alora': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'Alora',
'USER': 'postgres',
'PASSWORD': 'somepassword',
}
}
Python Version
C:\Users\User>python --version
Python 3.6.3
Django Version
C:\Users\User>django-admin --version
2.2
Tried python manage.py createsuperuser --database=Alora.
Received the error stated above.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks!

Python django error

am new to python and django
I am trying to build a small python django application on my local windows laptop.
i am not able to underlying tables required for my Django project as when i run "python manage.py syncdb" i get the below error
` Error :django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named 'MySQLdb'. Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python? '
And when i try running "pip install mysqlclient" i get the below error
'error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1": www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=8279'
I am stuck in this step and not able to find any leads. can someone suggest any workaround

By default Django is configured to use Sqlite database. See settings.py file:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
}
}
You have it configured to use MySQL database:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'DATABASE_NAME',
'USER': 'DB_USERNAME',
'PASSWORD': 'DB_PASSWORD',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '3306'
}
}
If it's a small test project, I would recommend you to switch back to Sqlite, but if you intend to run your project later in production using MySQL, then better use MySQL in development process.
Install:
MySQL or MariaDB locally on your computer
Windows SDK from www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=8279
run pip install mysqlclient - now it should succeed

Can i use sqlserver in django 1.6 and python3

I have installed django-sqlserver (0.5) with pip. In the docs says that engine must be sqlserver_ado but it does not work, this is the output Error was: No module named sqlserver_ado
This is my settings file:
options = {'use_mars': True,
'allow_nulls_in_unique_constraints': False, # sqlserver doesn't fully support multiple nulls in unique constraint
'extra_params': 'DataTypeCompatibility=80;MARS Connection=True;',
'use_legacy_date_fields': False,
}
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'sqlserver_ado',
'HOST': 'ip',
'NAME': 'db',
'USER': 'user',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
'OPTIONS': options,
}
}

You need django-mssql which is imported using import sqlserver_ado
The relevant info from the django-mssql docs:
Although the project is named django-mssql the python module is named sqlserver_ado
Python
This backend requires Python 2.6 or newer. Python 3.x support will be investigated when Django supports it.
The django packages page shows no support for python 3

Django and mysql problems on Mavericks

I'm running Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks. I'm trying to run django under python 3. Because I'm running Python 3 I have to get the official connector from the mysql devs here gave it a quick test in the shell and it works.
I ran python manage.py runserver with "mysql.connector.django" as the engine having seen an example here and I got this error:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'mysql.connector.django' isn't an available database backend.
Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of:
u'mysql', u'oracle', u'postgresql_psycopg2', u'sqlite3'
Error was: No module named mysql.connector.django.base
So I switch back to the default using "django.db.backends.mysql" as my engine and I get this error:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
I have no idea how to proceed. I can't install MySQLdb because I'm running my django install under python3 and it's unsupported, but I'm definitely missing something with this connector.

For python 2.7, 3.3+ there is a driver called mysqlclient that works with django 1.8
pip install mysqlclient
And in your settings
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'NAME': '',
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'USER': '',
'PASSWORD': '',
}
}
Here's the official django documentation about the mysql drivers:
