The PostgreSQL project has a tutorial in their documentation.
Section 1 is about setting up Postgres, and section 2 is the hands-on tutorial for SQL.
Databases allow programs to connect to them and send SQL statements to the database. There are Python libraries that help manage this connection within a python program. After you get your feet wet with the above tutorial, you can start writing python programs that populate and retrieve information via SQL.
Another comrade has recommended postgresql too and it looks very self-explanatory, so I'll definitely be going through that tonight. Those last links seem pretty helpful too, so i'll try those next, thanks. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to see if i could find straight up documentation - docs are always written in a clear way that works for me.
It doesn't help that official docs don't rank on search engines![emoji picard-annoyed picard-annoyed](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/195d44e1-caa1-4e7e-a7ec-34e8de923948.png)
