django - MySQL strict mode with database url in settings

I'm using a database URL string in my settings like:
DATABASES = {
'default': "mysql://root:#localhost:3306/mydb"
}
When I migrate I get this warning:
MySQL Strict Mode is not set for database connection 'default'
Now my question: How can I combine the two things?
I cannot use the "regular" way to set the database settings with a dictionary because my database url comes from an environment variable.
Thx in advance!

You could update your settings afterwards:
DATABASES['default']['OPTIONS'] = {'init_command': "SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES'"}

I think this one will help you.
you can pass the options as a query string in the URL
DATABASES = {
'default': dj_database_url.config(default="mssql://USER:PASSWORD#HOST:PORT/NAME?init_command=SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES'&charset=utf8mb4", conn_max_age=500)
}

DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'test',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '3306',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': 'test123',
'OPTIONS': {
'init_command': "SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES'",
'charset': 'utf8mb4',
}
}
}
Try to give init_command of database options in settings.py
If want know more refer the docs django_mysql.W001: Strict Mode

MySql configuration for Django

I am getting error when try to run
python manage.py migrate
django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1045, "Access denied for user 'someuser'#'localhost' (using password: NO)")
This is my database setting inside setting.py
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'OPTIONS': {
'read_default_file': '/config/mysql.cnf',
},
}
}
config/mysql.cnf
[client] database = dbname user =
root password = passwt host = localhost
default-character-set = utf8

The MySql configs can be provided in settings.py file, as like below
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'DB_NAME',
'USER': 'DB_USER',
'PASSWORD': 'DB_PASSWORD',
'HOST': 'localhost', # Or an IP Address that your DB is hosted on
'PORT': '3306',
'OPTIONS': {
'init_command': "SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES'",
'charset': 'utf8mb4',
}
} }
If need to configure with external file, below may be helpful
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'OPTIONS': {
'read_default_file': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'mysql.cnf'),
}
} }
The mysql.cnf file should be in project dir

postgresql django not sending password

I am getting the error OperationalError: fe_sendauth: no password supplied on my production server but I cannot see why...
settings.py
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'dbname',
'USER': 'dbuser',
'PASSWORD': PROD_DB_PASSWORD,
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
pg_hba.conf:
host dbname dbuser localhost md5
If I do psql -d dbname -U dbuser -h localhost and then enter the password at the prompt I can see that it works so IDK why django is not sending the password and IDK where to look from here.

I suspect you're not passing the password correctly. Here's how you debug. After the DATABASES line in settings.py, can you try printing out the dict.
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'dbname',
'USER': 'dbuser',
'PASSWORD': PROD_DB_PASSWORD,
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
print DATABASES
Then manage.py runserver as you would.
See if the password is properly passed. Apologies my rep's not enough to comment yet.

For future readers also check the spelling and later cases. All database keys must be in UPPER CASE e.g ENGINE, NAME, USER, PASSWORD, HOST and PORT.
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': os.getenv("DB_NAME", "db_name"),
"USER": os.getenv("DB_USERNAME", "db_user"),
"PASSWORD": os.getenv("DB_PASSWORD", "db#password"),
"HOST": os.getenv("DB_HOST", "localhost"),
"PORT": os.getenv("DB_PORT", "5432")
}
}

Why I cannot create a database for graphite-web?

I am trying to install graphite-web on my computer by following the instructions on
https://gist.github.com/surjikal/2777886. When I try to populate the database with manage.py syncdb it does not find a proper database throwing the following error:
> sudo python manage.py syncdb
OperationalError: FATAL: database "/opt/graphite/storage/graphite.db" does not exist
Here you can find my database configuration from local_settings.py:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'NAME': '/opt/graphite/storage/graphite.db',
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'USER': 'graphite',
'PASSWORD': '<password>',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5678'
}
}
Postgres is running properly:
sudo service --status-all | grep postgres
...
[ + ] postgresql
Why manage.py syncdb cannot create / find the graphite.db file?

If you are using postgresql then database path will not be required. You just need database name. like
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'NAME': 'graphite',
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'USER': 'graphite',
'PASSWORD': '<password>',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5678'
}
}

How to set storage engine in Django with MySQL connector/python as backend

I tried setting
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'NAME': 'db',
'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django',
'USER': 'dbuser',
'PASSWORD': 'dbpass',
'OPTIONS': {
'autocommit': True,
'init_command' : 'SET storage_engine=INNODB',
},
}
}
(UPD: updated the above code so ppl won't get confused that I am not using django settings the right way)
in Django settings, but this backend doesn't accept such connection option...
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-connectargs.html
is there any other way of doing this?

First, to use MySQL Connector/Python Django backend, you have to set the ENGINE setting to mysql.connector.django:
DATABASE = {
'default': {
..
'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django',
..
}
}
Indeed, MySQL Connector/Python does not have the init_command connection argument. I can see value in adding an option for setting the default storage engine in the Django OPTIONS though. If you really want it, I would suggest opening a feature request on http://bugs.mysql.com.
Small note that MySQL 5.6 (and if you start out, you should use this version) has storage engine set to InnoDB by default.

You need to set the entire setting:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'NAME': "MyDatabaseName,
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'USER': "MyUsername",
'PASSWORD': "MyPassword",
'HOST': "MyHostName",
'OPTIONS': {'init_command': 'SET storage_engine=INNODB'},
}
}
