23648	Documentation suggestion from new Django student.	kielhorn	nobody	"I am new to Django. I suggest the following change to the tutorial.  I was confused by the use of the word 'default', which I think should be removed.  Please see below. My confusion led to errors when executing 'python manage.py migrate'
Thanks.

    Documentation version: 1.7

Section: Writing your first Django app, part 1
   Subsection: Database setup

      paragraph-2:

         ""By default, the configuration uses SQLite.""

            --- The above line is confusing.  It suggests
                that by doing nothing to settings.py the
                sqlite3 database will be used, when actually
                'ENGINE' must be set to django.db.backends.sqlite3
                and 'NAME' must be set to something.

          My suggested wording for this paragraph is:

           "" The simplest database to use is SQLite.
            If you're new to databases, or you're just interested in trying Django, 
            this is the easiest choice. SQLite is included in Python, 
            so you won't need to install anything else to support your database.
            To specify SQLite, you must edit settings.py and set 'ENGINE' to
            'django.db.backends.sqlite3'.  You must also set 'NAME' to some value,
            for example, 'myName'.""
