What is the list of backends supported by Django?

Answer»

Django tried to SUPPORT as many features as possible on all DATABASE BACKENDS still, not all database backends are the same, and we have to decide on which features to support and which assumption we can make safely.

Django officially supports three other popular relational databases.

Below is the list of relational databases supported by Django -

1. PostgreSQL
2. MySQL and
3. Oracle 

Below is the list of databases to which Django supports connectivity -

4. SQLite - Django automatically creates an SQLite database for your project.
5. SAP (Sybase) SQL Anywhere
6. IBM DB2
7. Firebird
8. ADO- Microsoft SQL Server
9. ODBC - Microsoft SQL Server
10. Azure SQL database or other ODBC compatible database

Configuration to CONNECT to the database is done in the settings.py file of the Django project.

ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) and ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) interfaces are standard for connecting to Microsoft SQL Server and is supported by most relational database brands.
