Connect Django to Google Cloud SQL

Question

I\'m trying to connect Django to the Google cloud SQL, working with python 2.7 and django 1.5 under windows. I went through the instructions on this page: https://developers

Answer 1

That database configuration only makes sense when connecting from AppEngine. If you want to access your CloudSQL database from your local machine using django, you should use the google.appengine.ext.django.backends.rdbms engine.

You can see the different configuration options here: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/cloud-sql/django#development-settings

EDIT: The google.appengine.ext.django.backends.rdbms engine has been deprecated. If you want to connect to Google Cloud SQL from your local machine you should use IP connectivity. You can use the Cloud SQL instance IP (IPv4 or IPv6) and connect using the standard django.db.backends.mysql engine.
