 At http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/contributing/#unit-tests
 under the title "Running the unit tests", the documentation states:
 
 {{{
 Yes, the unit tests need a settings module,
 but only for database connection info,
 with the DATABASE_ENGINE setting.
 You will also need a ROOT_URLCONF setting
 (its value is ignored; it just needs to be present)
 and a SITE_ID setting (any non-zero integer value
 will do) in order for all the tests to pass.
 
 The unit tests will not touch your existing databases;
 they create a new database, called django_test_db,
 which is deleted when the tests are finished.
 This means your user account needs permission
 to execute CREATE DATABASE.
 }}}
 
 For SQLite the above is true, but for at least PostgreSQL also
 {{{DATABASE_NAME}}} and {{{DATABASE_USER}}} need to be specified, and
 {{{DATABASE_NAME}}} must be the name of an existing database to which the
 user has access, but it *must not* be {{{django_test_db}}}.
