How to connect Django 2.2 to MySQL database

1. The error information reported when running the project is as follows:

File "/home/pyvip/.virtualenvs/myblog/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 36, in <module>
 raise ImproperlyConfigured('mysqlclient 1.3.13 or newer is required; you have %s.' % Database.__version__)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: mysqlclient 1.3.13 or newer is required; you have 0.9.3.

The mysql version is too low, enter /home/pyvip/.virtualenvs/myblog/lib/python3.6/site-

packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py, open it with vim

Lines 35 and 36 need to be commented out, so that no errors will be reported due to the version. Enter wq in the last line mode to save and exit

2. Run the project again and report the following error

File "/home/pyvip/.virtualenvs/myblog/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/operations.py", line 146, in last_executed_query
 query = query.decode(errors='replace')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

Use vim to enter /home/pyvip/.virtualenvs/myblog/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/operations.py and change decode to encode in line 146.

Run the project again at this time, and you can see that it runs successfully! ! ! Prove that the mysql database connection is successful!
