Have you chosen a library for Django to use that implements the Django
database back-end?

To my knowledge there isn't a MS SQL back-end included with Django.
There certainly isn't one listed in the official reference at
<URL:https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/databases/>.

Perhaps you are using <URL:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-mssql>?
