Python, MySQL, Django, Syncdb gives DataBaseError (1046, No database selected)

Question

I have installed mysql, added it to services to start automatically, however when i try to run the command line interface it says that it cannot find mysql.exe. It asks me to browse for it. I am using windows 10 64 bit and mysql Cluster 7.4. I am following instructions and all they say to do is just enter the instruction to the command line like this manage.py syncdb and that is all that is said on the matter. Thanks in advance for any help that i get.

Have you defined your database in settings.py https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/settings/#databases

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'mydatabase',
        'USER': 'mydatabaseuser',
        'PASSWORD': 'mypassword',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

where engine is your database engine.
