Not gonna lie I am actually really disappointed that we are using Sqlite in the course. Why not MySql? Like PHPMyAdmin and that sort of thing?

18,416 Pointsit does not have an interface for starters. And I have used it before in the Python flask course. It is such a pain.

65,469 PointsWell, you can't change the videos to use MySQL.
I think the easiest way to understand what's going on is to first check out the SQL Basics course.
You should have a better understanding how the code works if you finish that course :)
