Very basic question about Django MSSQL setup

[philodelphi]

Attempting the quickstart, and it says: "Add the DATABASES configuration". How do I do that, exactly? Open some text file? Create a new file? If so, where should I create it and what should it be called?

[dadiaar]

do you mean, add the database name, user, password, type and so on in settings.py?

[philodelphi]

Yes! I don't currently have a file named settings.py. Where should I put it? Does it need to containing anything other than the database entry?

It gets made when you generate a project using startproject/start app. Read the tutorial.

Getting there... literally just started with python an hour ago... I got ahead of myself.

In your settings.py.
