I am about to make another attempt to get into Python.
And it seems to me the first hurdle is going to be SQL. The type of app I intend to write will certainly require writing data to some kind of database and I think that means SQL for Python?
I remember just before I left off my last attempt at Python being enmeshed in learning to install, set up, make databases, query them and all sorts of stuff. Quite involved. Requiring installing Python packages I think, too.
I work, or did work, via Spyder and there were issues with it that further complicated matters.
So I don't look forward to wading through all that again so I thought I'd enquire about the whole database thing and Python today (because it's over a year since I left off that attempt).
Must I still follow the same path or is there a sort of 'modern' and more user friendly way to code with database use? What would be the recommended approach today?
