'What's the difference beetwen django database engines?
In setting.py file I can that sqlite3 is set by default as db engine. In the docs i read that I can change it to other engines like PostgreSQL MariaDB or MySQL. But here is my question. What for ? Are these engines better/faster than default sqlite3 ? Is there any point of learning how to change database for other than default ?

SQLite is very limited database engine. It has limited functionality and only 5 basic types of datatypes. Other engines like PostgreSQL have much more advanced features/fields/datatypes like for example ArrayFields, Full text search etc
