Tell me, how to install Drupal 8.1.9 or 8.2.0 with PostgreSQL? Interestingly, in earlier versions, when the installation was attended by a selection of PostgreSQL. In newer versions this is even no mention
Alternative database engines such as SQLite and PostgreSQL are still available in Drupal 8. However, only the available engines are shown.
If you install the correct PDO module for your PHP environment (e.g. php70-pdo-pgsql) you should have that engine available to you:
You can also use phpinfo() to tell if PostgreSQL support is correctly enabled. You will find the following statement there if it is:
PDO Driver for PostgreSQL => enabled
remove the commented code extension=pdo_pgsql from php.ini file and then start the setup you will see the postgreSQL database option

I tried to connect to Sybase database from Django using sqlanydjango, but
I have stuck. One answer saying that
sqlany-django is no longer maintained; it was last updated in May 2016.
What is the other possibility to connect to Sybase database?
OS Ubuntu 18.04
django 2.2.4
Sybase is no longer maintained and it's not supported by Django. I recommend using one of the supported databases:
PostgreSQL
MariaDB
MySQL
Oracle
SQLite
Personally, I would recommend using PostgreSQL - I think it's the most advanced database. If you use it, I would recommend using version 13, since version 14 is still new and I think it's not officially supported by Django yet. It's always a good practice to use the previous major release. Also with Django, I recommend upgrading to the latest major release only about 4 to 6 months after its initial release. So for today, this means using Django 3.2 (latest minor release, currently 3.2.11).
You can use django-environ to define the database you are using in settings.
You could use the freetds module. GitHub repository was active 5 days ago, it aims to provide support for sybase and MSQL Server.
I used it with MSQL
You can download it from there, and installing with the instruction on this link (Sybase python module website)
Then you can test your installation using these steps
You can also try different Django version.
If this doesn't show anything wrong, and Django still won't connect to your DB, you can try to edit Django's source files so the ImproperlyConfigured exception doesn't raise (REALLY REALLY RISKY, DO A BACK UP OF YOUR DB) or migrate your Sybase to a supported database.
You can use pyodbc.
To install this.
Pip install pyodbc
import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(‘DRIVER={Devart ODBC Driver for ASE};Server=myserver;Port=myport;Database=mydatabase;User ID=myuserid;Password=mypassword;String Types=Unicode’)

Im a beginner to django.
Someone help to connect Oracle 11g db with django 2.0 in windows. What is the requirements and how to connect and what are the changes to be done.
According to the manual,
Django supports Oracle Database Server versions 12.1 and higher. Version 5.2 or higher of the cx_Oracle Python driver is required.
You may run in to trouble with version 11g -- but if you want to give it a shot, that link has the instructions.
phpMyAdmin on my server is giving me a message
A newer version of phpMyAdmin is available and you should consider upgrading. The newest version is 4.1.7, released on 2014-02-09.
My tech support at MycPadmin.com cannot find the exact patch for the cpanel current version - WHM 11.40.1 (build 11).
Can you please tell me where to find this patch. Thank you.
Since your hosting provider is using a packaged version distributed by cPanel, you can either download the official phpMyAdmin source and install it manually out side of the existing phpMyAdmin installation, or you can wait for cPanel to provide an update.
As an aside, phpMyAdmin provides a specific way for other packages that include phpMyAdmin (like cPanel in this case) to suppress that warning, and it's probably an oversight that they don't. In the meantime, you could also turn off the warning by editing your config.inc.php and adding the line $cfg['VersionCheck'] = false;
How can I setup a Django 1.5.1 app running with Python 3.3 to access a MySQL database? I tried using MySQLdb but apparently it doesn't support Python 3.3.
My next intention was to use Connector/Python, but what am I supposed to put for the "Engine" key of the Databases dictionary of the settings.py file?
If someone could provide detailed steps of how to get Django to work with Connector/Python, that would be great!
MySQLdb is the Python interface to MySQL [supported by django]. Version 1.2.1p2 or later is required for full MySQL support in Django.
At the time of writing, the latest release of MySQLdb (1.2.4) doesn’t support Python 3. In order to use MySQL under Python 3, you’ll have to install an unofficial fork, such as MySQL-for-Python-3.
This port is still in alpha. In particular, it doesn’t support binary data, making it impossible to use django.db.models.BinaryField.
Basically your only options to avoid Alpha quality drivers are:
Don't use python 3.
Don't use MySQL.
Hopefully this makes the choice easier: http://grimoire.ca/mysql/choose-something-else

I tried setting up Django to use a MySQL database and it choked because the backend was not available. Reading around the net I see that MySQLdb needs to be installed, and perhaps _mysql needs to be installed as well. I have been surprised that so many different sets of instructions are available, which all seem to do different things in the install process. There are also a large number of posts about the problems with installing MySQLdb, and frequent comments about the install being a PIA. This gives me pause, as I imagine that arbitrary choices which I may make may cause random and hard to track down bugs.
Is there a consensus on what the most reliable install method is?
I don't mind configuration issues. I'm just hoping not to create original problems. As a general rant, with MySQL being so common of a DBMS, why isn't the backend already installed in Django?
I use Homebrew to install stuff like MySQL. It's pretty simple:
Install Homebrew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
Install MySQL using Homebrew:
brew install mysql
Install the MySQL Python module using your preferred Python installation mechanism (I prefer using Pip):
pip install MySQL-python
As a general rant, with MySQL being so common of a DBMS, why isn't the backend already installed in Django?
You can use other database backends with Django (SQLite or PostgreSQL, for example), and the MySQL connector itself is a module installed outside of Django (and potentially used by other software -- it many cases it might already be installed).
