In addition to what Nikola said, keep in mind that you don't need a
full-featured database to start developing with Django (since it will,
by default, use sqlite), and if you're setting up a production
environment, you might also take a look at postgre, which I've had
good experience with, and will be no different than mysql if you stick
to using the ORM.
