24371	Recommend that new projects start with PostgreSQL	Carl Meyer	nobody	"A recurring issue on `#django` is users who have built a project locally using SQLite, and get to the point of wanting to deploy it, and want to switch to PostgreSQL. This introduces another sometimes-significant hurdle in their deployment learning curve (which is already unfortunately steep). In general I think users would be better off if they just started with PostgreSQL instead.

I don't think it's feasible to change the default project template off of SQLite, simply because of the ""built-in, works out of the box"" factor. But I think we could/should add a call-out to the tutorial, along the lines of ""when starting your first real project, you may want to start out right away with a production-level database like PostgreSQL, to avoid database-switching headaches down the road."""
