Comment:
Hi. Thanks for the report.
In all but this simplest cases, the credentials in settings.py **are not**
sufficient to enable database creation too. Given that in those cases
creating the DB doesn't involved much more than a `createdb` on the
command line or a `CREATE DATABASE...;` from the DB shell, and that
creating a DB is a relatively rare event, easily scripted, it's been
considered as not worth the complication, and security implications to add
this.
