------------------------------------------------------------+---------------
The tests in `tests/regressiontests/admin_scripts` involve the creation of
a number of settings files. Currently, only the values of the
`DATABASE_ENGINE`, `DATABASE_NAME`, `DATABASE_USER`, `DATABASE_PASSWORD`,
`DATABASE_HOST`, `DATABASE_PORT` and `ROOT_URLCONF` settings are copied
from the user-provided settings.
The DB backends included with Django don't need additional settings to be
able to run such tests under a complete DB environment but for other
(external) backends some additional information might be needed.
In the case of `django-pyodbc`, historically `DATABASE_ODBC_DRIVER` and
`DATABASE_ODBC_DSN` have been examples of such settings (they allow to
configure some ODBC-related values). Providing default values for them in
the backend isn't a always a complete solution and asking Django to
preserve their values is out of question because it would be non-generic.
What could be done instead is: a) ask for the `DATABASE_OPTIONS` setting
to be preserved (that's what this ticket is all about) and b) in the
backend side: Gradually migrate these settings to `DATABASE_OPTIONS`.
