Correction needed in documentation: typo in PostgreSQL adapter package name

Dear Support Team,

I’ve noticed a small but important typo in your Django deployment guide:

https://docs.railway.com/guides/django

In the section “Configure Database, Static Files & Dependencies”, the text states:

“pyscog is python package that allows Django work with Postgresql.”

There are two issues here:

  1. Typo in package name: The correct package name is psycopg, not pyscog. (The installation command correctly uses psycopg[binary,pool] — only the description contains the error.)
  2. Grammar: The sentence should read:

“psycopg is a Python package that allows Django to work with PostgreSQL.”

This mistake could confuse new users who might try to look up or install a non-existent package (pyscog).

Thank you for the clear and helpful documentation — this quick fix will make it even more reliable!

Fixed now.

The Django guide’s database/dependencies section currently links to psycopg and describes it as a Python package that allows Django to work with PostgreSQL. That matches the correction requested here: the package name is psycopg, not pyscog, and the grammar has been cleaned up.
