Setting Up PostgreSQL Database

1. Install PostgreSQL:

   Make sure PostgreSQL is installed on your system. You can download it from the official PostgreSQL website.

2. Create a PostgreSQL Database and User:

   Once PostgreSQL is installed, create a new database and a user for your Django application. You can do this using the PostgreSQL command-line interface (psql) or a graphical tool like pgAdmin.

   Open your terminal and run the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE bluestock;
CREATE USER daiyanalam WITH PASSWORD '12345';
ALTER ROLE daiyanalam SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
ALTER ROLE daiyanalam SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
ALTER ROLE daiyanalam SET timezone TO 'UTC';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE bluestock TO daiyanalam;

3. Install PostgreSQL Adapter for Python:

pip install psycopg2-binary

4. Configure Django Settings:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'bluestock',
        'USER': 'daiyanalam',
        'PASSWORD': '12345',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

5. Apply Migrations: Run the following commands to apply migrations and start the server:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver
