title: How to set storage engine in Django with MySQL connector/python as backend
body: <p>I tried setting </p>
  
  <pre><code>DATABASES = {
      'default': {
          'NAME': 'db',
          'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django',
          'USER': 'dbuser',
          'PASSWORD': 'dbpass', 
          'OPTIONS': {
            'autocommit': True,
            'init_command' : 'SET storage_engine=INNODB',
          },
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(UPD: updated the above code so ppl won't get confused that I am not using django settings the right way)</p>
  
  <p>in Django settings, but this backend doesn't accept such connection option...
