To convert a SQLite database to a MySQL database, you can follow these steps:

  1. MySQL backend for Django database management
pip install mysqlclient
  1. The configuration file settings.py
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'your_database_name',
        'USER': 'your_mysql_username',
        'PASSWORD': 'your_mysql_password',
        'HOST': 'your_mysql_host',
        'PORT': 'your_mysql_port',
    }
}
  1. Navigate to the directory where the Django project is located in the terminal and execute the following command to generate MySQL database migration files:
python manage.py makemigrations
  1. Run the database migration command to transfer the SQLite database to MySQL database.
python manage.py migrate

In this way, the SQLite database will be converted to a MySQL database. Make sure that MySQL database is correctly installed, configured, and has the proper permissions.
