I'm using Flask (coz I found it simpler than Django). Would Django have a database built in? I was thinking about mysql only because I need a relational database for storing and linking the info. But I don't know much about Django...

Oh right, yes, sorry about that, I'm not too familiar with Flask.
Yes, Django has a built-in database, by default it creates a SQLite database, but it also supports MySQL. Also, if you want to use your own MySQL database, it allows you to do it pretty easily.

Django is pretty scary at first, but it's actually damn easy. This guide basically did it for me
docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/intr... 😊 Definitely worth a look!

Update: I just checked, Flask does seem quite similar to Django, so it might not be too hard for you to grasp it
