Description
Hello!
./manage.py tries to create database even if it's exists!
I don't want such behavior as I don't want to grant database creation to my users.
So I can propose solution:
do not create database if it's exist. Instead drop all tables in it.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
What you propose sounds like extremely dangerous behavior to exist as a default. If a database already exists, then there's a reasonable chance that it could contain useful data. If the default behavior of the test suite is to purge the contents of a database, it would be very easy to accidentally lose that data through the simple act of running a test suite.
If you don't like Django's default test setup/teardown procedure, it is configurable - see the documentation on writing a custom test runner.
