Django is A Popular Framework for creating web based application so i'm going to show you how to connect A Django project to Mysql database and I'm using ubuntu 20.04 distribution

navigate in your django project and place this line of code in setting.py file

this line 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', means that django will use mysql instead of mysqlite and django will check database configuration details in a file called my.cnf it is located in /etc/mysql you can create this file and rename it with anything you want but make sure it ends with .cnf right?

here are details in my.cnf file, ignore those comments what is important in this file is the selected last options you can see that the user is root,and password is empty in this case and the nameof the database is employedb, if you are using different user other than default you can change it accordingly

After doing all this you will need to make some few commands to check if it works, firstly, create a database for instance employedb and in your do migrations ptyhon commands you will be able to see all default generated tables from Django

Thanks
